Company and Division Select, Deploy Protector for Metaswitch Network
NASHVILLE —January 26, 2018 — Leading fraud management solutions (FMS) supplier Equinox Information Systems announced today that Saddleback Communications and its white-label UC division, Reinvent Telecom, have selected and deployed the Protector FMS to safeguard their Metaswitch network.
Saddleback Communications provides quality Internet access, transport services, and local exchange services to residences and business in its Scottsdale, Ariz., service area. Reinvent Telecom offers white-label cloud-based Unified Communications services nationwide. As part of a best-in-class FMS search, Saddleback selected Equinox’s Protector system last year for real-time monitoring of their Metaswitch network to mitigate risk and cost associated with fraud incidents. Currently processing hundreds of millions of records per day, Protector is widely recognized as the industry’s most reliable and affordable tool for combatting telecommunications fraud.
“From the initial sales process through the startup training, Equinox has been a great business partner for this fraud management project,” explained Jose Crespo, Director – Network Planning for Saddleback. “The protection offered by Equinox’s fraud management system helps ensure Saddleback’s and Reinvent’s abilities to continue providing world-class solutions to our customers and partners while increasing customer satisfaction.”
Protector, the most installed fraud management system in the U.S., has a proven record of helping telecom companies combat even the newest fraud schemes. The system instantly notifies analysts when suspicious activity occurs, with higher risk incidents triggering more frequent, escalated alerts, including the ability to automatically shut down activity when warranted. The FMS also includes integrated case management tools to speed investigation and incident closure. Protector’s reputation is well earned, having saved carriers hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud losses last year alone.
“Protector’s fraud management abilities have been put to the test by hundreds of telecom companies who want to reduce risk and mitigate loss associated with telecom fraud,” said David West, Executive Vice President of Equinox Information Systems. “Equinox is thrilled to partner with Saddleback Communications and Reinvent Telecom on this project and confident that they also will benefit from the proven protection offered by the automated Protector system.”
