Globe Teleservices Pte. Ltd., a global telecommunications solutions provider, has entered into an exclusive strategic alliance with Honora Tanzania PLC (TIGO, now rebranded as Yas), a Tanzanian mobile network operator under the AXIAN Telecom Group.

Globe Teleservices stated that its firewall safeguards messaging traffic against grey routes and spam, ensuring secure and reliable communications. The solution has also been customized to meet the specific business needs of Tigo Tanzania.
Ashutosh Agrawal, Chairman and Managing Director of Globe Teleservices, said: “Our intelligent firewall solution complements Tigo Tanzania’s vision for secure and efficient international A2P traffic delivery.” Headquartered in Singapore, Globe Teleservices provides direct connectivity services in over 65 countries and has been ranked as a Tier 1 A2P SMS supplier for mobile network operators in ROKKO’s A2P SMS Market Impact Report.
