Robocalls have become one of the most disruptive issues in the telecommunications industry, affecting operators and their customers alike. As VoIP traffic continues to rise, so does the complexity and frequency of these automated, often fraudulent, calls. For operators engaged in wholesale VoIP, handling large volumes of traffic, proactive defense against robocalls is not just a matter of regulatory compliance—it’s key to maintaining profitability, reputation, and operational integrity.
This article delves into why real-time solutions are critical for telecom operators and how DenovoLab’s advanced softswitch offers robust tools for combating robocalls at every stage of their journey through the network.
The Growing Challenge of Robocalls
Robocalls, which use automated systems to place large volumes of calls, have expanded rapidly in both volume and sophistication. While some robocalls serve legitimate purposes, such as notifications or customer service, many are associated with fraud, scams, and malicious intent. These illegal robocalls often involve:
Spoofed Caller IDs: Misleading the recipient by displaying fake phone numbers.
Phishing Schemes: Attempting to extract sensitive information.
Revenue Share Fraud: Manipulating calls to generate profit through international premium-rate numbers.
In the wholesale VoIP space, where large amounts of voice minutes are exchanged between operators, the stakes are particularly high. The sheer volume of traffic makes identifying and blocking fraudulent calls manually almost impossible. That’s where real-time, automated solutions come in.
Why Real-Time Robocall Defense Matters
For telecom operators, real-time solutions are essential to effectively counter robocalls. Delayed or reactive approaches to robocall mitigation can lead to substantial financial losses, regulatory penalties, and degraded relationships with partners and customers. Here’s why real-time solutions make a difference:
1. Instant Detection and Prevention
Robocalls often come in waves, with hundreds or thousands of calls being made within minutes. A real-time defense system can detect these surges as they happen and take immediate action to prevent them from reaching the recipient network. This protects not only the end users but also the operator from handling fraudulent traffic that can incur high costs.
DenovoLab’s softswitch features real-time fraud detection algorithms that analyze traffic patterns continuously. When an anomaly, such as a spike in calls from suspicious numbers, is detected, the system can automatically block these calls, preventing costly disruptions.
2. Dynamic Call Routing to Avoid Fraudulent Traffic
In wholesale VoIP, ensuring calls are routed through secure, trusted paths is crucial. Real-time solutions allow operators to reroute calls dynamically if a certain route is flagged as high-risk or if fraudulent activity is detected. This not only protects the network but also ensures that legitimate traffic continues without interruption.
DenovoLab’s dynamic routing capabilities provide this flexibility, allowing operators to shift call paths instantly based on real-time risk assessments, which helps avoid fraudulent traffic and ensures seamless operations.
3. Immediate Caller ID Authentication
Caller ID spoofing is one of the most common tactics used in robocall fraud. Without real-time authentication, these fraudulent calls can easily pass through the network, posing risks to customers and leading to potential fines under regulatory frameworks like STIR/SHAKEN.
DenovoLab integrates STIR/SHAKEN protocols within its softswitch, ensuring that every call’s origin is authenticated in real time. This prevents spoofed calls from making it through to recipients, maintaining the integrity of the operator’s network and compliance with evolving regulations.
4. Real-Time Reporting and Analytics
Another critical aspect of real-time defense is having access to data and insights as soon as an event occurs. Operators need to be able to quickly analyze traffic patterns, detect fraud attempts, and adjust their strategies accordingly.
DenovoLab’s platform provides comprehensive real-time reporting and analytics, allowing operators to monitor call traffic, identify potential threats, and take immediate action. This level of visibility is essential for staying ahead of fraudsters and minimizing the impact of robocalls on your network.
