Bangalore: Subex Azure, a provider of revenue maximization solutions for telecom operators, today announced that it has deployed its fraud management and revenue-assurance systems at MTC Namibia. MTC Namibia is a 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. 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. 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). On the other hand, SAFMS utilizes rules-based alarms and artificial intelligence, 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. José Ferreira, Managing Director, MTC Namibia said: “We selected Subex Azure’s fraud management and revenue-assurance solutions as they will enable our business to maximize our revenues effectively. This gives us a foundation on which we continue our expansion plans and it also provides us with an invaluable edge in the market.”
