New Feature, Available via TB Analytics, Helps Service Providers Eliminate Fraudulent Calls, Stem Revenue Loss and Increase Network Availability

Montreal, Canada: November 29, 2017 – TelcoBridges, the leading designer and manufacturer of carrier-grade Tmedia VoIP gateways and the FreeSBC session border controller, today added a customer-requested feature to its portfolio, with the introduction of One-Click Fraud Call Removal. This new feature is available via TB Analytics for all Tmedia VoIP gateways and the FreeSBC. TB Analytics is TelcoBridges’ suite of diagnostic tools used to manage networks.

This new feature helps service providers eliminate fraudulent calls, stem revenue loss and increase network availability. It extends and improves the powerful TB Analytics “Call Trace” feature. Using the new One-Click Fraud Call Removal, service providers can easily search active calls based on route, called/calling number, or call duration (such as calls lasting several hours) to find a “fraudulent” call and drop it with a single click.

Unwanted calls can be removed automatically and manually. This feature also includes an API to automate fraud prevention in conjunction with systems offered by TelcoBridges’ partners. The call removal can be integrated with third party OSS/BSS systems via this API. The combination of these technologies detects and terminates fraudulent calls created by traffic pumping, PBX hacking, call transfer, call forwarding and more.

“Service providers around the globe lose billions of dollars each year in telecom-related fraud costs, so finding a better way of detecting and preventing fraud is a top priority,” said Gaetan Campeau, CEO of TelcoBridges. “Our One-Click Fraud Call Removal provides an out-of-the-box, realtime solution to eliminate this pain point while also helping to enhance a telecom service provider’s bottom line.”

Groundbreaking deployment provides innovative model for delivery of advanced services to remote markets

Orlando, FL, March 27, 2017  – GENBAND™, a leading provider of real-time communications solutions today announced that it has partnered with Vodafone Fiji to deploy a hosted solution that delivers next-generation cloud and UC services across the Pacific. Designed as an upgrade to the Republic of Kiribati’s fixed and mobile network infrastructure, the fully operational deployment leverages the GENBAND Application Server and Kandy Business Solutions for enhanced cloud-based applications. This hybrid offer enables Vodafone Fiji to deliver compelling hosted UC services via satellite links to Kiribati through local provider Amalgamated Telecoms Holdings Kiribati Limited (ATHKL).

“GENBAND has always been an innovative partner for us and this project is no exception,” said Andrew Kumar, Vodafone Fiji CTO. “By deploying this new solution, we’re empowering remote Pacific nations and their communities with access to advanced real-time contextual communications.”

GENBAND is providing Vodafone Fiji with enhanced SIP Trunking services, voice over satellite, local media anchoring and PRI gateways. Vodafone Fiji leverages GENBAND’s Application Server to deliver country-specific hosted billing from its Suva base while web collaboration, auto-attendant, voicemail and WebRTC applications are provided via Kandy Business Solutions.

Kiribati customers can access mobile, UC services or SIP Trunk connectivity via the prepaid system, acquiring only the services they need. This innovative billing model further extends cost efficiencies and leverages existing billing infrastructure investments. Additionally, ATHKL can now provide PBXs to corporate clients without investing in on-premises infrastructure, delivering greater flexibility and advanced features cost-effectively.

“Remote areas have been at a disadvantage when aiming to access next-generation services,” said David O’Connor, GENBAND’s Senior Vice President for APAC Sales. “Until now that access has required massive investment. This unprecedented solution is an important step forward in extending advanced capabilities to these underserved locations while providing a model for cost-efficient delivery of hosted UC solutions.

Integrated SBC and OSS Solution Provides Fraud Detection, Local Number Portability, Least-Cost Routing and Quality of Service Analysis for VoIP Carriers Worldwide

Montreal, Canada: February 8, 2017 – TelcoBridges, the leading designer and manufacturer of carrier-grade VoIP media gateways and session border controllers (SBC), today announced a systems integration partnership with TransNexus, a leading provider of Operations Support Systems (OSS).  The combination of both vendor’s technologies brings enhanced fraud detection capabilities, local number portability, least-cost routing, and a wide range of QoS analytics to VoIP carriers around the globe.

TransNexus’ NexOSS is a suite of integrated back office applications that provide VoIP least-cost routing (LCR), traffic reporting and fraud detection capabilities that can automatically suspend suspicious routes from the routing table.  NexOSS makes it easier for VoIP operators to provision call routes, establish call rates, monitor network traffic and produce billing reports.

TelcoBridges Tmedia Gateways and TransNexus’ NexOSS have been deployed and working together in carrier networks since 2010. The integration announced today combines the capabilities of TelcoBridges’ TSBC5000 Session Border Controller with TransNexus’ NexOSS on multiple levels:

• SIP integration: Provides the ability to centralize call routing, route provisioning, rating and traffic reporting.  TelcoBridges’ SBC consults NexOSS on a call-by-call basis using SIP.
• CDR integration: Allows NexOSS to generate real-time traffic reports and generate rated call detail records for billing purposes.  TelcoBridges’ SBC writes CDRs in real-time to NexOSS such that it can extract relevant information related to traffic volumes, QoS and revenue generation for the benefit of the wholesale carrier.
• Fraud Detection: Automatically detects fraudulent calls, blocks them or diverts the calls to another destination in real-time.  NexOSS applies TransNexus’ SIP Analytics® technology to the call data provided by TelcoBridges’ SBC via SIP INVITE messages and real-time call detail records.  This combination detects fraudulent calls created by traffic pumping, PBX hacking, call transfer and call forwarding, and more.

“TransNexus’ NexOSS software working with TelcoBridges’ SBCs enables a full suite of business optimization functions for SIP trunking that create new revenue and reduce operating expenses.  Our combined technologies not only avoid fraud, but also benefit from dynamic least-cost and QoS routing, dynamic SIP federation peering and jurisdictional call routing, to name a few,” said Gaetan Campeau CEO of TelcoBridges.  “The integration we’ve announced today provides an out-of-the-box solution for VoIP service providers anywhere around the globe.”

“The combination of our technologies provides a solution that is ideal for VoIP wholesale carriers,” said Jim Dalton, Founder and CEO of TransNexus.  “Not only does it provide more control and visibility into a service provider’s network in terms of security, quality of service and profitability, but it also detects fraud!”
