The test involved Hiya’s SaaS cloud interworking with Nokia’s cloud native, IMS-based Telephony Application Server to respond to the service delivery requirements of the dynamic, ever-changing telecommunications market. The test not only proved the success of Hiya’s sophisticated detection and alerting capabilities – including fraud, spam, legitimate callers and verified businesses – but proved the smooth integration of Nokia core solution with Hiya’s cloud. As a result, Nokia’s Telephony Application Server is properly issuing call events and enforcing the call instructions received by Hiya.
In order to meet industry standard service requirements, Hiya’s integration also showed minimal impact on call set-up time.
“This project was a critical step in addressing the needs of carriers to integrate a cloud-based solution at the network level,” said Alex Algard, CEO at Hiya. “Fraudsters and spammers are sophisticated and constantly change their tactics, so our solutions must outsmart them to stay a step ahead, which is why integrating at the network level through a public cloud service is such an important accomplishment.”
