The award recognizes organizations that demonstrate outstanding innovation, measurable impact, and leadership within their industries.
First Orion has been recognized for its pioneering work in creating a trusted, fraud-resistant mobile voice ecosystem, anchored by its dual-layer technology suite: SENTRY® Call Blocking and INFORM® Branded Calling.
