Openmind Networks, which provides messaging router solutions has released the latest version of Protect for the mobile wholesale carrier community.
Protect, which is already deployed in four continents, filters out undesirable messages that seek to attack or defraud subscribers or network infrastructures, and underpins revenue assurance initiatives to prevent leakage. The system stops spoofed and faked messages that are impossible to bill, ensuring that network bandwidth is freed up for revenue generating traffic. As many fraud threats originate outside of the home network, wholesale operators can use Protect to intercept mobile terminating traffic entering the network via interconnect partners.
With Protects ability to block and filter spam, Openmind Networks is demonstrating its leadership in the wholesale carrier space, says Openmind Networks CEO, Alex Duncan. We are the only company that has developed and deployed next generation messaging products that deliver compelling value to the wholesale carrier market.
Mobile Spam is an emerging problem in mobile networks, says Openmind, and the experience of the Internet and email shows that having the proper control mechanisms in place is vital to prevent service degradation over time. Protect provides wholesale carriers with such a control mechanism. It is powerful enough to carry out sophisticated analysis of every message being processed by the carrier in real-time and comes with a highly configurable rules engine to harness this capability.
