Belgian operator Proximus has deployed Openmind’s consolidated Traffic Control Platform to replace its legacy SMSC and SMS Firewall as part of its move towards virtualization.
According to Openmind, replacing its legacy infrastructure with Openmind’s Traffic Control platform will allow Proximus to consolidate all messaging functions onto a single virtualized platform, reducing the Tier 1 European operator’s hardware footprint and the inherent OPEX costs. The deployment of Openmind’s Protect module alongside SMSC will also benefit Proximus’ subscribers by preventing the delivery of spam and fraudulent content, said Openmind.

Given the current competitive market for operators, Proximus wanted to rapidly virtualise and consolidate its services in order to prepare for future innovation whilst reducing unnecessary Opex costs.
