This release note provides information about the May 2025 (Epoch 118) release of the AddressBase Islands products. These products were released to customers on 01 May 2025.
Object Without Postal Address (OWPA) enhancement in Epoch 118 for AddressBase Premium Islands and AddressBase Plus Islands
There is a small uplift in this release of both AddressBase Premium Islands and AddressBase Plus Islands due to an improvement in the Object Without Postal Address (OWPA) features contained within these products. As a result of this uplift, COU counts are around 30% larger, in comparison to the 3 previous releases; this may result in slower processing times.
