“SMS Spam is more than just an annoyance, it can also incur charges for both the operator and the subscriber and research has shown that subscribers often see their operator as the source of the spam and switch carriers as a result.†stated Choi. “iAX Anti-Spam is designed not only to detect SMS spam sent from local or foreign networks but also to provide protection against deliberate attempts to bring down an operator’s network using malware or viruses. This highly configurable solution will ensure the operator’s compliance with current and future regulatory mandates.â€

By implementing a class leading anti-threat solution such as iAX Anti-Spam, operators will see an increase in messaging revenues and a reduction in costs both to themselves and to their subscribers.
“Indosat decided to proactively and aggressively counter the effects of spam and malware to its network and to its subscribers. We needed a solution that would protect our network from SMS fraud and abuse and our subscribers from SMS Spam. Having previously partnered with Tango Telecom and their local partner Lintas Teknologi in the very successful deployment of their SMS delivery platform (iAX SMS), we were confident that their anti-threat solution would not only meet but exceed our requirements.†stated Raymond Tan, Network Director, Indosat.
