First Orion is a leading provider of call protection solutions, already protecting millions of wireless subscribers with CallerYD®, call blocking and Scam/Nuisance identification/protection products that are supported by robust data assets. The companies have now integrated the First Orion Network Enterprise Solutions (FONES) with the NetNumber TITAN Centralized Signaling and Routing Control (CSRC) platform to bring advanced call routing capabilities and unprecedented flexibility and protection into the carrier network, while minimizing impact on critical network resources. Along with industry efforts such as phone call certification aimed at addressing harmful spoofing, this solution represents a critical step toward extending effective robocall protection to the broader universe of carriers and subscribers. "The ability to offer advanced call routing, call blocking and management services via a carrier's network has been limited to enterprises," explained Diane Myers, Senior Research Director, IHS Markit. "The opportunity for carriers to now offer similar capabilities at the subscriber level, including protection from unwanted calls, has the potential to create new revenue streams for carriers while solving a major pain point for their customers." First Orion Network Enterprise Solutions (FONES) "Over 200 million unwanted calls are made to mobile phones and landlines in the U.S. every day," said Scott Hambuchen, EVP of First Orion. "By partnering with NetNumber we are able to combine their best-in-class TITAN platform with our powerful call protection products to help block calls from scammers, annoying nuisance calls and individuals on mobile and landlines, while ensuring legitimate or wanted calls still get through."
