SMS Firewall PDF

Corporate SMS usage is growing rapidly, but so are "grey routes" that bypass normal billing. An SMS firewall can identify improperly charged routes, filter unwanted traffic, and block grey routes to help operators regain control of their networks and maximize revenue. The firewall differentiates personal and commercial SMS to recognize hidden commercial SMS. It scans messages for origin, source, and route to filter spikes, repeats, and grey routes. Operators can customize rules to gain full visibility and charge all terminating SMS traffic properly.

SMS FIREWALL

Corporate SMS is a rapidly growing sector. Organisations across the world have grasped its potential and
embraced it, recognising its communication value. Along with business messaging, “grey routes” are also
surging. Today, the urgent need to eliminate grey routes in order to stop revenue leakage and gain back control
of the networks is acknowledged by Mobile Operators globally.

A core element of SMS monetization is a SMS Firewall that identifies all improperly charged routes, filters
traffic and prevents network abuse. It combines hardware and software features to ensure SMS monetization
based on a holistic approach. Our firewall is unique in its ability to differentiate A2P from P2P SMS traffic and
recognise A2P SMS hidden inside P2P channels, while also offering standard firewall filtering of A2P
international traffic with alphanumeric sender ID.

How it works
Whenever SMS traffic reaches the network of a Mobile Operator, the SMS firewall immediately scans each
message, its originator, source and route used. Traffic spikes and unwanted and repeated traffic and content are
filtered, while “grey routes” are identified and blocked. The firewall features a user friendly interface and is fully
customisable. The user can apply specific rules for different roaming partners, types of traffic, sources of
incoming traffic and types of sender ID.
