Subex Azure delivers Fraud Management & Revenue Assurance to MTC Namibia

Subex Azure Ltd on October 17, 2006 has announced that it has successfully deployed its fraud management and revenue-assurance systems at MTC Namibia.

MTC Namibia is the leading mobile services provider in Namibia, with in excess of 500,000 subscribers. Portugal Telecom recently acquired a 34 per cent in the company, and MTC Namibia was looking to further expand its reach in the region. As MTC Namibia’s network grows, it wanted to ensure that it had greater visibility of traffic crossing its network and had the tools to minimize its exposure to revenue leakage and reduce fraud on its pre-paid services.

Following a competitive tendering process, the Subex Azure Fraud Management Solution (SAFMS) and the Subex Azure Revenue System (SARAS) were chosen to help MTC Namibia implement changes across its network. The decision to implement these solutions was taken at the end of last year and the entire project was deployed in phases.

SAFMS is an advanced fraud-management system, which enables operators to detect both known patterns and unusual fraud types in all environments - wireline (PSTN, ISP, VoIP) wireless (2G, 2.5G, 3G) across all services (postpaid, prepaid, VAS, MMS, m-commerce). SAFMS utilizes rules-based alarms and artificial intelligence driven pattern matching to identify unusual behavior. It is highly flexible allowing operators to customize the configuration to suit their network and business requirements.

SARAS is a complete revenue-assurance (RA) solution, designed to tackle critical revenue-assurance challenges across the entire revenue chain. SARAS offers a set of pre-configured solution templates that address RA issues across areas such as service fulfillment, usage integrity, retail billing, interconnect / wholesale billing and content settlement.

Subash Menon, Founder Chairman, Managing Director & CEO, of the Company said: "We are very pleased to be working with MTC Namibia. This implementation will help enhance MTC Namibia’s market performance and ensure that both fraud and revenue leakage are kept to a minimum. This deal is an indication of our commitment as well as proof of sound understanding to the region in the African telecoms market."
