29 Oct
Summary
- Vivo Brazil and Motive win award for silent authentication.
- This technology replaces SMS OTP with SIM-based authentication.
- Silent authentication offers a simpler, more secure user experience.
Motive and Vivo Brazil have been honored with the 2026 Light Reading Leading Lights Award for Outstanding Use Case: Network API Monetization. This award recognizes their successful implementation of the first commercial-scale deployment of SIM-based silent authentication in Latin America.
This groundbreaking technology enhances the user experience by eliminating the need for customers to manually enter codes received via SMS OTP. Instead, it leverages SIM-based silent authentication for a more direct and secure verification process, which is crucial for reducing abandonment rates and improving customer retention.
Vivo Brazil, utilizing Motive's CAMARA-compliant Entitlement Server, can now perform subscriber phone number verification without relying on SMS. This not only simplifies authentication for customers but also reduces reliance on SMS and creates a new, monetizable enterprise API service for Vivo.
David Sharpley, CEO of Motive, highlighted the significance of operators turning network APIs into valuable, payable services. Leonardo Silva from Vivo Brazil emphasized that this innovation aligns with their strategy of creating simple, secure, and seamless digital experiences through network API potential.
