International voice and messaging specialist VOX Solutions has been appointed as the exclusive gateway for international application-to-person (A2P) short message service (SMS) traffic delivery into the Telekom Networks Malawi (TNM) network.
TNM is a leading telecommunications network provider in the country. Its network covers over 88% of Malawi.
This appointment is described as the result of an interworking agreement between the two companies, allowing for direct termination of international A2P SMS traffic to TNM's network.
The partnership between VOX Solutions and TNM establishes an exclusive direct collaboration, which, the partners say, ensures the secure and reliable delivery of A2P messages to TNM's clients and international businesses.
This strategic alliance empowers TNM to gain control over the delivery of all international A2P SMS traffic into its network, including critical communications such as one-time passwords and customer notifications.
By adopting this comprehensive approach, the partners say, TNM achieves the highest level of network protection against fraudulent activities, courtesy of VOX's expertise, as well as the advanced A2P voice and SMS traffic monetisation capabilities of the VOX-360 platform.
The VOX-360 platform is described as a comprehensive and unique solution in the market, encompassing anti-fraud features, flash call authentication, A2P SMS monetisation, and mobile identity capabilities. It empowers mobile operators to identify and block spam and fraudulent traffic, proactively safeguarding end users and enhancing the overall customer experience. Furthermore, it enables operators to optimise their network monetisation efforts.
VOX Solutions says it has successfully deployed VOX-360 in numerous major mobile operators' networks worldwide.
