“At HGC we believe that we have a role to play to create better and more secure digital experiences,” says Irfan Abubaid, HGC Global Communications Vice President of Voice and Messaging. Abubaid adds, “In fact, many of our clients are relying on us to send SMS OTPs, one-time passcodes, to authenticate a user before giving them access to services.” In this podcast, Abubaid explains how HGC is achieving its goal of creating better and more secure digital experiences. “We are looking to enable service providers access to mobile intelligence data at scale globally. We are starting with the MNOs we work with already and adding new operator connections as and when we see opportunities to better serve the market.” Abubaid describes some of the challenges and then outlines how HGC is helping its customers tackle security issues. “As to our clients, if you imagine an identity provider, a bank or any other kind of service provider that wants to make use of mobile intelligence data as a part of its core services, they could get coverage from someone like us, instead of contracting, connecting and transacting with every single operator we have a relationship with. We reduce this kind of operational complexity and cost for our clients and let them get on with enhance their customer experiences and reduce risks.”

“There haven’t been any fireworks,” says Steve Smith, Fonative’s Chief Executive Officer. If you’ve been expecting an earthquake on June 30, you might have wondered why there wasn’t even a trembler. According to Smith, not only should you not hold your breath, but you might want to practice normal breathing. This is going to take a while. Smith tells us that actually the June 30 deadline is basically a first big step on a multi-step ladder that will take time to climb. But Smith also tells us that now, more than ever, everyone concerned should be making a list to make sure the organization that you manage, or the services you sell, are making their timely Stir/Shaken steps. We learn how the TDM problem is being solved, and when. We hear how Stir/Shaken impacts international calls that are not attested. There aren’t fireworks but lagging behind could explode later as a big problem.

The benefits of disaggregation are recognized by some of the world’s largest carriers as they look to use independent hardware and software to bring them greater vendor choice, service flexibility and cost-savings. But, with benefits also come challenges. In this podcast Hannes Gredler, CTO at RtBrick and Richard Brandon, VP of Marketing, talk about network disaggregation, one of the most important shifts in networking technology since the arrival of the Internet.

“We will look back at the current era the way we look back at buying a Wang word processor,” says Brandon. Brandon and Gredler are convinced that this step forward has giant implications making it a game-changing moment in networking, and perhaps much more.

RtBrick has pioneered this completely new way to build and run telco networks using IP/MPLS routing software that brings greater agility, automation and lower costs to carriers. The first use-case of its software provides an open BNG (Broadband Network Gateway), which has already been deployed by some of the world’s largest operators. RtBrick’s routing software is delivered as a software container and controlled using open REST-based APIs. It runs on high-performance bare-metal-switches, which are available from multiple vendors.
