Delivering RealNumber Intelligence to Protect Against Illegal Call Spoofing
46 Labs, a leading provider of telecommunications software and network infrastructure solutions, has become a Somos RealNumber® Do-Not-Originate (DNO) Authorized Distributor bringing real-time DNO intelligence directly into its platform to help service providers strengthen fraud prevention, improve operational efficiency and protect consumer trust.
Through the partnership, 46 Labs has integrated the Somos RealNumber® dataset, the industry's most comprehensive source of trusted DNO data, into its platform. The integration enables service providers to automatically verify outbound calls against RealNumber in real-time, allowing calls originating from telephone numbers designated as DNO to be identified and blocked before fraudulent traffic leaves the network.
"As the telecommunications industry continues to combat increasingly sophisticated fraud, service providers need solutions that are both powerful and easy to implement," said Max Adams, Chief Revenue Officer and Shareholder at 46 Labs.
"Becoming a Somos RealNumber Authorized Distributor allows us to deliver trusted, real-time DNO intelligence directly within our platform, helping our customers reduce fraud, streamline operations, and strengthen confidence in every call they deliver."
"At Somos, we're committed to empowering the industry with trusted numbering intelligence that strengthens the integrity of communications," said Bill LaRuffa, Vice President, Commercial Sales & Strategic Partnerships at Somos.
"By partnering with 46 Labs, we're making it easier for service providers to integrate RealNumber DNO data into their networks, helping them proactively identify suspicious traffic, reduce the risk of spoofing and illegal robocalls and build greater trust in every call."
As a RealNumber Authorized Distributor, 46 Labs enables service providers to quickly incorporate authoritative DNO data into their existing call processing workflows without requiring significant infrastructure changes. The integration provides continuous access to current DNO information, helping providers improve the accuracy of call validation, reduce operational complexity, and respond more effectively to evolving fraud threats.
Together, 46 Labs and Somos are equipping the telecommunications industry with an integrated solution that combines trusted numbering intelligence with carrier-grade network technology, enabling providers to better protect their networks, customers and the telecom ecosystem.
