AB Handshake

AB Handshake offers a game-changing solution for telecom service providers that eliminates fraud on inbound and outbound voice traffic. We validate each call using our advanced system of interaction between operators. This means 100% accuracy and no false positives. Every time a call is set up, the call details are sent to the Call Registry. The validation request arrives at the terminating network before the actual call. Cross-validation of call details from two networks allows detecting any manipulation. Call registries run on simple common use hardware, no additional investment needed. The solution is installed within the operator’s security perimeter and complies with security and personal data processing requirements. Practice occurring when someone gains access to a business's PBX phone system and generates profit from the international calls at the business's expense.
