BTS has been selected as the exclusive provider of managed A2P SMS services for Liberty Latin America (LLA), supporting the company's efforts to strengthen revenue protection, fraud mitigation, traffic intelligence, and operational visibility across its markets. The agreement establishes a coordinated operating model to improve control, visibility, and monetization of A2P traffic. This strategic move is designed to support revenue maximization, stronger fraud protection, and grey-route mitigation while providing enhanced real-time traffic visibility and operational reporting.

The partnership spans 25 markets and reflects a high level of operational trust in BTS' ability to deliver consistent performance across diverse regulatory, technical, and commercial environments. The agreement builds on a five-year relationship between the two companies in international voice services, extending that collaboration into A2P messaging with greater visibility, stronger protection, and a more effective monetization model.

Strategic Benefits and Operational Scope

The collaboration will provide LLA with 24x7x365 managed services support, revenue assurance, and advanced analytics. The framework also creates a structure for future collaboration on outbound P2A SMS management and Open Gateway APIs managed services. These areas include onboarding, monitoring, analytics, governance, and operational support, offering LLA flexibility as its API and authentication strategies evolve.
