For mobile & voice operators

A voice firewall at the operator boundary — robocall detection, Wangiri one-ring and IRSF screening, CLI spoofing detection and flash-call abuse control. SIP-side scoring with SS7 CAP corroboration, so fraud is held before it rings a subscriber or lands on the settlement bill.

The voice-fraud landscape

## Five voice abuses, one boundary.

Robocalls, Wangiri, IRSF, CLI spoofing and flash-call abuse are the same economic attack across different call flows — a billable or trust-eroding event manufactured at scale. The voice firewall catches each at the layer where it shows.

### Robocalls & spam floods

SIP · high-volume outbound

Automated, high-volume call floods that erode subscriber trust and drive complaints. Pattern-scored by cadence, fan-out and origin so campaigns are throttled before they reach handsets.

### Wangiri one-ring

SS7 / SIP · missed-call bait

Single-ring calls that bait subscribers into calling back a premium range. The loop is detected by the tell-tale one-ring burst pattern before the return leg becomes a settlement liability.

### IRSF revenue-share fraud

Interconnect · premium ranges

International revenue-share fraud terminates manufactured minutes on premium ranges the fraudster profits from. Premium-range screening and velocity scoring hold anomalous traffic before it settles.

### CLI spoofing

SIP header · CAP

Fabricated calling-line identities that impersonate banks, brands and government to defraud subscribers. Origin and CLI integrity are validated at the boundary.

### Flash-call abuse

Voice OTP · verification

Silent-call verification abused to generate billable traffic or probe number ranges. Abuse patterns are separated from legitimate flash-call verification and controlled per route.

How BroadNet mitigates it

## Six controls on the voice boundary.

### CLI validation & spoof detection

Calling-line identity is validated against origin and route integrity, so spoofed CLIs impersonating trusted brands are flagged before they ring a subscriber.

### Wangiri loop detection

One-ring burst campaigns are recognised by their distinctive missed-call signature and blocked before the return leg terminates on a premium range.

### IRSF & premium-range screening

Traffic terminating on known premium and test/unallocated ranges is screened and velocity-scored, so manufactured minutes are held before they become an interconnect bill.

### Robocall pattern scoring

Call cadence, fan-out, duration and origin behaviour are scored per route, so automated spam floods are throttled while legitimate calling passes untouched.

### SS7 / CAP corroboration

Signalling-layer inspection of CAP InitialDP and related operations corroborates the SIP-side verdict, catching fraud that reveals itself at the signalling layer.

### Settlement-risk alerts

Anomalous termination patterns raise alerts to fraud and revenue-assurance teams early — including roaming abuse whose cost otherwise surfaces weeks later through clearing.

Threat coverage

## Every voice abuse, the control, the outcome.

| Attack vector | BroadNet control | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Robocall spam floods | Pattern scoring on call cadence, fan-out, duration and origin, per route. | Automated floods throttled before they reach handsets; legitimate calling passes untouched. |
| Wangiri one-ring bait | Detection of the tell-tale one-ring burst signature. | The return leg is blocked before it terminates on a premium range. |
| IRSF revenue-share fraud | Premium and test/unallocated range screening with velocity scoring. | Manufactured minutes held before they settle up the interconnect chain. |
| CLI spoofing of banks & brands | CLI and origin integrity validated inline at the boundary. | Fabricated caller identities flagged before they ring a subscriber. |
| Flash-call verification abuse | Genuine flash-call OTP separated from abuse, enforced per route. | The low-cost verification channel is kept; billable abuse is controlled. |

Caller-ID authentication

## Aligned to STIR/SHAKEN caller-ID attestation.

STIR/SHAKEN is the industry framework for proving a call's caller ID is genuine: the IETF STIR standards sign the originating number in a PASSporT token, and the SHAKEN profile carries it across SIP interconnects with an attestation level — A (full), B (partial) or C (gateway). BroadNet's voice firewall is attestation-aware, so operators moving toward signed caller ID get one control point for both fraud scoring and authentication policy.

### Attestation-aware policy

Where your network carries SHAKEN attestation, the firewall reads it into the same decision that scores cadence, origin and CLI — so unattested or low-attestation calls can be treated consistently, per route.

### CLI integrity at the boundary

In markets without full STIR/SHAKEN deployment, origin and CLI integrity are still validated inline — closing the caller-ID spoofing gap the framework is designed to remove.

### Regulator-ready records

Every verdict — attested, unattested, spoofed or blocked — is logged with its contributing signals, giving a defensible record for regulators enforcing caller-ID authentication mandates.

Where it sits

## Inline on SIP, corroborated on SS7.

### Inline at the SIP boundary

A voice firewall on the SBC / SIP path scores calls in real time — validating CLI and origin and applying per-route policy before a call is completed.

### SS7 CAP corroboration

Inline at the STP for CAP InitialDP and related operations, so signalling-layer voice fraud reinforces or tempers the SIP-side decision.

### Mirror, then inline

Rollouts typically begin in detect-and-alert mode to baseline legitimate calling, then move to inline enforcement once the false-positive envelope is agreed.

### Per-route policy

Policy is expressed per route and per partner, so bilateral agreements, premium-range rules and roaming controls are enforced from one engine with a shared audit trail.

Why operators pick BroadNet

## Voice and signalling, under one policy engine.

### Voice and signalling in one stack

Robocall mitigation runs alongside BroadNet's signalling firewall and programmable voice — SIP-side and SS7-side controls under one policy engine.

### Global interconnect view

1,000+ operator connections across 200+ countries give visibility into emerging Wangiri and IRSF campaigns as they move between markets.

### Carrier-grade since 2003

Two decades running voice and messaging infrastructure for carriers, with a 99.99% platform SLA and a 24/7 carrier NOC behind every deployment.

### Auditable by default

Every call verdict is logged with the contributing signals and the policy that applied, so fraud and RA teams — and regulators — get a defensible record.

Operator due diligence

## Questions operators ask.

**What does robocall mitigation cover?**

It is a voice firewall that controls voice-side fraud and abuse at the operator boundary — robocall spam floods, Wangiri one-ring campaigns, IRSF (international revenue-share fraud), CLI spoofing and flash-call abuse. Calls are scored on origin, CLI integrity, cadence and destination, with SS7 CAP corroboration, before they complete.

**How are Wangiri and IRSF related, and how do you stop them?**

Both are revenue-share fraud: a billable event terminated on a range the fraudster profits from. Wangiri is a one-ring bait that tricks a subscriber into calling a premium number back; IRSF drives manufactured minutes onto premium ranges directly. BroadNet detects the one-ring burst signature, screens premium and test/unallocated ranges, and velocity-scores termination patterns so the traffic is held before it settles up the interconnect chain.

**Can you detect CLI spoofing that impersonates banks and brands?**

Yes. Calling-line identity is validated against origin and route integrity at the boundary, so a fabricated CLI impersonating a trusted institution is flagged before it rings the subscriber. This pairs with sender-ID controls on the messaging side, so brand impersonation is covered across both bearers.

**How does this relate to flash-call verification?**

Flash-call verification is a legitimate BroadNet product — silent-call OTP that verifies the last digits of a dropped call. Robocall mitigation separates genuine flash-call verification from abuse, so operators keep the low-cost verification channel while controlling attempts to misuse it for billable traffic or range probing.

**How is it deployed and does it slow down calling?**

The voice firewall sits inline on the SBC / SIP path with SS7 CAP corroboration. Rollouts usually start in detect-and-alert mode to baseline legitimate calling, then move to inline enforcement once the false-positive envelope is agreed. Legitimate calls pass untouched; policy is enforced per route with a shared audit trail.
