First Orion, a leading provider of branded communications solutions, today announced a new patented SIP redirect-based, end-to-end call authentication integration method. This innovation allows enterprises to more easily and securely authenticate outbound calls while delivering trusted calls at scale, expanding access to features like INFORM® with Logo and SENTRY® Call Blocking.
The new integration leverages SIP redirect technology to verify that calls are valid as they reach carrier networks. Only authenticated calls are branded with INFORM, while unauthenticated calls can be blocked using SENTRY. This approach simplifies the authentication process for enterprises, reducing technical barriers and enabling broader adoption of branded calling solutions.
According to the company, call authentication is critical for combating robocalls and spam, which erode consumer trust in phone communications. By making it easier for legitimate businesses to authenticate their calls, First Orion aims to restore confidence in voice calls and improve answer rates for enterprises. The SIP redirect method provides a more streamlined path for integration compared to traditional methods, which often require complex network changes.
First Orion's branded communications suite already serves Fortune 500 companies and is integrated into the largest U.S. mobile carriers. The new SIP redirect-based integration is expected to further expand access to these solutions, enabling more enterprises to protect their brand reputation and enhance customer engagement.

The announcement underscores the growing importance of call authentication in the telecommunications industry. As regulators and carriers intensify efforts to combat illegal robocalls, technologies that enable trusted communications become increasingly vital. First Orion's solution addresses both security and user experience, potentially setting a new standard for how enterprises manage outbound calls.
This development also has implications for consumer protection. By ensuring that only authenticated calls are branded or allowed through, the system reduces the risk of spoofing and phishing attacks. Consumers can more easily identify legitimate calls, leading to higher engagement and lower fraud losses for businesses.
First Orion's SIP redirect-based call authentication integration represents a significant step forward in making trusted communications accessible to a wider range of enterprises. As the solution gains traction, it may accelerate the adoption of branded calling across industries, ultimately benefiting both businesses and consumers.
