Why Fraud Calls Remain a Global Issue? Strategies to Protect Voice Worldwide

Описание: In Episode 7 of the TelcoBridges Podcast, CEO Maximilien Le Sieur and VP of Client Technical Services Luc Morissette explore the future of voice networks in growing markets.

They discuss the modernization patterns across regions, the impact of mobile subscriber growth, budget and integration challenges, and how fraud is affecting networks without strong regulatory frameworks. The conversation also touches on extending legacy TDM assets, the role of SBCs and gateways, and why IMS is becoming central to unifying fixed and mobile voice networks.
