Lisa Cowart, Sales Director at CLX Communications explains the importance of direct Tier-1 routes in an interview with Emarsys ay MWC 2017. CLX boast the largest Tier 1 Super Network for enterprise communications on the market and Lisa outlines some of the key benefits of using a supplier with a large Tier 1 footprint. The benefits outlined by Lisa are as follows:
- Enhanced Security: Content is sent directly to the delivering operator over secure channels, meaning that your content is never exposed to any third parties.
- Higher delivery rates: Direct connections typically have higher delivery rates as the provider can tune their platform to fully decode possible error messages and ensure delivery retries are done successfully.
- Better redundancy: A large number of direct connections ensure that alternative routes are available in the unlikely event that a single connection fails.
- Two-way SMS: Direct connections enable interactive SMS service using Short Codes and Long Codes so that customers and other users can send messages back to your application.
- Better feature support: Features such as Dynamic Sender IDs, support for concatenated and Unicode messages, and Delivery Reports are more reliably supported when using direct connections.
