Meet the Next-Gen Digital Platform for Voice, SMS and Virtual Numbers

Many of us can still remember when the wholesale voice and SMS A2P market was thriving. Since the ‘90s though, the wholesale voice industry began to shrink due to deregulation, while the SMS A2P market lasted a little while longer until the early 2000, enjoying a temporary boost from by OTT’s and the e-commerce industry usage of SMS to send One-Time Passwords (OTP).

But the wholesale voice and SMS A2P industry has become increasingly competitive over the past decade, with margins under pressure as OTTs have eroded global voice and SMS traffic volume. In that time, global voice traffic has approximately halved, from around USD150 billion to USD70 billion at present.

The outlook is less dire for SMS A2P, which is still experiencing traffic volume growth, but profitability and margin pressures are slowly creeping in due to rising competition. Some SMS aggregators have evolved into application-based companies offering programmable communication APIs that enterprises can use as a powerful tool to better engage their customers. However, many have not; and in addition, the existence of illegal SIM bypass routes has prevented operators from monetizing their networks to its fullest.

As profitability and margins decline, telecom companies are taking a hard look at these so-called legacy businesses. How much money is required to operate the business and at what cost and return? Are we generating positive cash flow for this business? Is there potential to growth? And most important of all, is the business worth continuing?

Challenge to Growth for Operators and Carriers

In the past, operators and carriers tried to achieve broad coverage by establishing hundreds of interconnects with counterparties. Each interconnect required its own set of contracts, agreements and software integration, rendering the process cumbersome and difficult to scale.

In addition, carriers needed to constantly update their systems tools, platform, and processes to remain current, creating an additional layer of complexity and uncertainty as carriers could never be sure whether a new partner’s systems and software were sufficiently current and secure to operate optimally.

Thus, operators and carriers currently face a variety of challenges to growth:

• Declining profitability and risk of bad debts
• Requirement to continue investing in upgrading software/hardware
• Need to negotiate each interconnect separately
• Opaque interconnect processes
• Risk that counterparties’ systems are outdated or vulnerable to cyberattack

How can these challenges be tackled?
