MTC Namibia, the predominant mobile operator in Namibia, has forged a significant partnership with VOX Solutions, a leading TelcoTech company. This collaboration marks the establishment of an exclusive agreement focusing on the direct handling of international Application-to-Person (A2P) SMS and A2P Voice, including OTP voice and flash calls, into MTC Namibia’s network.

The agreement grants VOX Solutions the sole authority to manage all A2P traffic entering MTC Namibia, a strategic move designed to enhance network security against various types of SMS and voice fraud. At the heart of this initiative is the VOX-360 platform, an award-winning solution that delivers a comprehensive anti-fraud approach tailored for one of the most pivotal operators in Southern Africa.

The Importance of A2P Traffic Management

The rise of A2P Voice and SMS traffic has emphasized the necessity for robust security measures. Licky Erastus, CEO of MTC Namibia, highlighted that this partnership underscores their commitment to ensuring the integrity of their network, while simultaneously building customer trust by securing enterprise traffic.

“Given the increasing volume of A2P traffic, it’s critical to have effective security solutions in place. Our collaboration with VOX Solutions is a testament to our dedication towards safeguarding our network,” Erastus stated.

The VOX-360 platform stands out not just for its power, but for its holistic approach to managing A2P messaging and voice traffic. This includes the ability to mitigate flash call fraud, which has become an emerging threat in the telecommunications sector. By addressing grey routes, unsolicited traffic, and various bypass techniques, VOX-360 aids mobile network operators in minimizing revenue losses and optimizing traffic quality.

Enhancing Revenue and Quality

Ehsan Ahmadi, the CEO of VOX Solutions, expressed pride in becoming the exclusive partner for MTC Namibia in A2P SMS and voice traffic. He reiterated the importance of secure solutions that contribute to revenue generation for mobile operators. “Our partnership not only consolidates our leadership here in Africa but illustrates our capability to offer scalable and secure A2P traffic solutions that effectively monetize services for operators,” said Ahmadi.
