WAKEFIELD, Mass., Oct. 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- Xura, Inc., a leading provider of digital communications
services, today announced an agreement with the
Telefónica Group to become a global messaging partner across
all countries1 operated
by the multinational. As part of the agreement, Xura will deploy
its Message Controller (MCO)
solution across Telefónica's network, providing an advanced,
multifunctional messaging platform that will play a key role in the
evolution of the operator's messaging infrastructure.
Enabling SMS and MMS services for the
Telefónica Group, Xura Message Controller can also be used as
the launchpad for future IP-based services, and will provide a wide
range of intelligent routing functions and scenario analysis for
triggering sophisticated message handling and optimizing traffic.
Additionally, with Xura Message Controller, Telefónica will
activate Xura's next generation SMS firewall including
its SpamShield module, implementing
real-time spam and fraud detection techniques, unique self-learning
algorithms and providing a deep understanding of the network.
Xura Message Controller will flexibly integrate
within Telefónica's overall networking ecosystem to reduce
complexity and provide optimal efficiency for greater return on
investment (ROI) and, because the solution is fully virtualized, it
can be deployed in an NFV (Network Function Virtualization)
environment, improving efficiency and lowering costs.
"Our partnership with the Telefónica Group
spans more than ten years, so we are extremely pleased to close
this exclusive agreement that reinforces our long-standing
relationship. Not only will this messaging framework
future-proof Telefónica's messaging infrastructure but the new
scope will mean we can secure their networks and protect them
against fraudulent activity, as well as support them as they
migrate to NFV," said Philippe Tartavull, Chief Executive Officer
at Xura, Inc.
