Customized Network Routing

A Sprint Wholesale Customized Network Routing^SM (CNR) solution is an ideal choice for a variety of voice applications created by international carriers and communications resellers. CNR enables you to use Sprint access and network services to originate all customer calls, then route them appropriately based on the dialed number. Sprint Wholesale backs CNR with the outstanding network services, operations, and support systems that enable you to deploy these applications quickly and profitably.

If you provide international calling services from a domestic gateway, use Sprint Wholesale CNR to expand your domestic network without deploying your own facilities.
