Airtel Business, today launched Airtel IQ Gateway, India's first ever telco-grade network intelligence platform which brings different customer communication channels onto one safe control plane.
Enterprises now won't need to manage multiple vendors separately if they opt for Airtel IQ Gateway, a DPDP compliant platform which combines SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, voice communications and number verification (silent authentication) together in one place. It will enable enterprises to easily manage their business communications at scale, while protecting customer trust and making safety foundational to every customer interaction.
This offering from Airtel Business is of critical importance today, when businesses have to manage fragmented customer communication stacks across multiple service providers and tools to reach their customers, with limited visibility into the real delivery of messages. Messages are often reported delivered even when they fail, while International OTP pumping by bots inflates bills. Moreover, managing pre-approved message templates is manual and often leads to mistakes. For enterprises, especially in sectors like BFSI, government, e commerce and logistics, this not only hurts customer trust when consumers are targeted by scams, this also damages their brand reputation.
Airtel IQ Gateway solves this with a single control center for all business communications. It brings together Airtel's fraud protection with automatic integrations of native message template system (DLT), automatic switching to back-up service providers, and intelligent routing across SMS, WhatsApp, RCS and voice.
By leveraging Airtel's built-in network intelligence and trust layers for enterprise use, such as IQ Verify for fraud protection and Silent Authentication for SIM based login, with capabilities like spotting fraudulent account creations and takeovers and artificial traffic spikes, Airtel IQ Gateway protects enterprises from fraud losses and billing spikes caused by industry-wide SMS pumping.
Launched nationwide today after successful trial deployments across select banks, financial institutions and other relevant industry collaborations, the platform extends Airtel's proven expertise in fraud prevention for end customers to enterprises, enabling them to build customer trust at scale through safe communications.
Bharti Airtel has announced that it is further enhancing its Rs 999 and higher family postpaid plans with Apple's iCloud+, which now also includes Apple TV and Apple Arcade, offering greater value and another reason for its customers to upgrade.
Airtel's latest postpaid offering combines Apple's newly expanded iCloud+ offerings, which offers secure storage and sharing of personal content, as well as access to Apple TV's award-winning originals, and hundreds of incredibly fun games through Apple Arcade. The new offering is available for Airtel customers on family plans of Rs 999 and above.
With iCloud+, millions of Airtel postpaid customers will be able to store, sync and access their photos, files, passwords, contacts and other important information across their Apple devices. Their data will also be securely backed up, making it easier to set up a new device while keeping their digital life connected and accessible. Apple TV gives access to Apple's premium original series and movies, while Apple Arcade offers unlimited access to a catalogue of games without ads or in-app purchases.
The Rs 999 family postpaid plan offers a family of three with unlimited data with Fastlane technology, spam protection and is loaded with access to entertainment subscriptions. With the addition of Apple's iCloud+, Apple TV and Apple Arcade, the plan now brings even more value to families, combining connectivity, entertainment, gaming and cloud storage in a single postpaid plan offering one more reason for customers to upgrade and get greater value from their postpaid plan.
