NOS and iBASIS Renew and Expand Strategic Partnership

Since the inception of their partnership in 2020, iBASIS has leveraged its global platform to deliver best-in-class services to NOS, enhancing fraud protection, improving real-time monitoring, and ensuring high visibility across international services. This strategic collaboration has significantly contributed to NOS’s mobile data growth, with a 62% increase in roaming data observed in 2024 compared to 2022.

“iBASIS has consistently demonstrated their dedication to adding value across multiple facets of our international operations,” said Frédéric Missotten, Director Wholesale at NOS. “Their expertise, synergetic offerings, and technical support have driven significant improvements in service quality. By deepening our collaboration, we are now poised to capitalize on messaging monetization opportunities, including A2P SMS and RCS, unlocking new avenues for innovative messaging channels.”

As part of the expanded agreement, iBASIS has implemented a robust SMS Firewall solution, becoming the authorized carrier for monetizing NOS’s A2P SMS traffic. This solution safeguards messaging revenue by monitoring all traffic entry points, detecting and addressing leaks, and preventing SMS fraud types like “smishing” (SMS phishing).

“Our partnership with NOS is rooted in mutual trust and a shared vision of delivering cutting-edge services,” said Patrick George, CEO at iBASIS. “By combining our global platforms, capabilities, and dedicated teams, we’re enabling NOS to maintain their leadership in the market while driving innovation and value for their customers.”

This renewal and expansion of the iBASIS-NOS partnership underscores a joint commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainable growth in the global communications landscape.
