MCO for SMSC Capacity and FDA

Many mobile network operators have employed MCO to

address the need for additional SMSC capacity and

effectively leverage existing infrastructural assets in place.

This provides the solution of expanding SMS capacity in a

cost efficient way. In many situations, this is achieved by

implementing MCO for First Delivery Attempts and only

transferring failed messages to the existing SMSCs.

MCO for SMS Spam and Fraud Control

Another way that operators have employed MCO is detect

and control fraud, fakes, spoof and spam activity. MCO

provides 18 levels of Spam and Fraud control including

Anti-Fake, Anti-Spoof, Anti-Flood, Anti-Abuse, Keyword

Filtering, Black-/White-lists, SIM-Box Detection, Duplicate

Message Detection, Malicious Content Detection,

Phishing and Scam Protection, Spam Protection, Call to
