Pre-validating A-Numbers has become essential for delivering valid traffic, ensuring margins are protected, and removing identity risk. As the voice industry becomes more complex, dedicated solutions are needed to enable carriers to confidently terminate traffic, by working with Cellusys, we are removing spoof calling and unexpected surcharges for carriers. Together, we are combatting some of the toughest challenges facing the modern telco market.
Brendan Cleary, CEO, Cellusys
Call fraud is a major problem for voice players in the telecoms industry. This is causing losses of margin in an already challenging market. Real time detection and blocking is key to protecting revenues. Our goal is to provide our customers with the latest signalling security innovations to prevent fraud instances and empower them to take back control of their networks. Through our partnership with XConnect, we are building an ecosystem to enable carriers to fight fraud and enhance their voice offerings..
