OUR HISTORY

In 1999, NetNumber embarked on its journey, laying the groundwork for future innovations.

Back then, North American mobile telecom providers first embraced a purpose-built platform with a unique combined service logic with a distributed database concept.

The pivotal moment arrived in 2000 when the software that would evolve into Titan.ium emerged within NetNumber, with the inaugural line of code written on March 1. 

This event marked the birth of the Global Internet Telephony Director platform (GITD), a distinctive fusion of service logic and a distributed database concept. 

This technological leadership has become vital to its global success over the past decades.

This phase signifies rapid evolution and expansion in the trajectory of our software product, encompassing both the platform and the range of products and services offered. 

Much of the foundational software and logic developed during this period, including pioneering number portability solutions with SS7 and ENUM, continue to exist today.

To accurately mirror its robust capabilities, our leading-edge software was rebranded as Transactional IP Telephony Addressing & Numbering (Titan), symbolizing strength and superiority.

A comprehensive modernization effort accompanied this rebranding. Over the following years, Titan evolved into a more versatile and fully programmable platform, thanks to the introduction of dynamically loadable service logic, positioning it as a solution that 'could solve anything.'

With the advent of Titan 7, we took our first steps towards providing fully Customer-Defined Applications (CDA), marking a significant milestone in our journey towards customization and flexibility.

We emerged as the main provider of real-time routing services to top-tier service providers in the US, leveraging the Titan platform's distinct capabilities for distributed execution and database management.

Over time, we developed a variety of protocol stacks in-house, enhancing our offering into a comprehensive service. This evolution made our solution highly sought-after among service providers, enabling them to streamline their networks and offer unique, provider-specific features that set them apart in the market.

In the next paradigm wave, Titan launched the sophisticated multi-protocol signaling firewall for SS7 and Diameter, offering mobile operators, especially mobile operator groups, a scalable and high-demand solution.

Our firewall, with its unique dissector concept that allows inspection and modification of every bit and byte in signaling and with home-grown protocol stacks in geographically dispersed networks, continued to conquer the market over the following years.

Subsequently, Titan was used to introduce the Centralized Signaling and Routing Control (CSRC) and develop standard applications for IMS and all types of core network signaling combined solutions for fixed and mobile operators.

It helped operators reduce costs and simplify their networks by integrating signaling control functions of various natures and generations.

In March 2023, Titan.ium was acquired by Lumine, a publicly traded (TSXV:LMN) communications and media software business acquirer. 

As a firm that adopts a buy-and-hold forever approach, Lumine Group aims to acquire businesses with long-term growth potential, enhance their core profitability, and invest in ways that empower their growth.

Lumine Group's business model and operations are committed to long-term success in the communications and media software sectors. Lumine Group is headquartered in the greater Toronto area, Canada.
