Xura to provide secure network signaling to Tier-1 mobile operator titan

WAKEFIELD, Mass., Aug. 16, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xura, Inc. (NASDAQ:MESG), a leading provider of digital communications and security services, today announces that its Signaling Fraud Management solution has been chosen by one of the world's largest mobile network operators, for real-time analysis and fully-active signaling filtering.  Through a thorough competitive tender (RFP) process, Xura's solution was selected ahead of its closest competitors for its technical superiority, clearly diminishing the validity of one competitor's claim to be "market leader".

"Selection by a mobile operator of this pedigree is an excellent endorsement of Xura's solid capabilities to protect the operation of our customers' networks, and to secure the services delivered to subscribers," said Glen Murray, Xura's Managing Director and SVP for EMEA.

The decision in favor of Xura is understood to be based on Xura's ability to demonstrate the power of its Signaling Fraud Management solution, in conjunction with the depth of experience the company has in signaling.  Xura built and operates its own SS7 and Diameter signaling stacks, which are deployed in mission-critical solutions for hundreds of operators serving more than half the world's subscribers.

"Having access to our own signaling stacks has enabled us to develop highly flexible and fully-featured signaling security products," commented Ilia Abramov, Product Director for Xura's Security Solutions. "Power and flexibility continue to be an important differentiator, and Xura has a wealth of signaling and security experience gained from exposure to signaling in hundreds of networks. Our Security Management and Response Team can leverage the product elasticity to ensure Xura's customers have a tailored solution with the advantages of faster reaction time to new signaling threats, and greater protection of revenue-generating network operation."
