Orange Burkina Faso, Vox partner to curb A2P SMS fraud
Orange Burkina Faso has selected Vox Solutions as its provider of A2P SMS and voice services.
The connectivity alliance seeks to provide the secure transmission of A2P messages to Orange Burkina Faso subscribers and international enterprises.
A2P, or application-to-person messaging, refers to any type of communication in which a person receives messages from an application.
The Orange and Vox partnership has identified message fraud and artificial inflation as key issues.
According to a statement, artificially inflated traffic volumes are becoming a major concern in the digital world, posing a financial danger to businesses and mobile operators, as well as a security risk to consumers.
In addition, Orange said it will improve its ability to monitor all A2P SMS traffic, including one-time passwords and consumer notifications.
According to Ehsan Ahmadi, CEO and creator of Vox Solutions, "This collaboration represents a significant step toward improved communication experiences and lasting success."
Orange is Burkina Faso's largest mobile operator, with around 10 million users and a 43.72% market share.
