Subex Azure wins Fraud Management & Revenue Assurance Deal with MCEL

Subex Azure Ltd on May 10, 2007 has announced that it has won a contract to provide fraud management and revenue assurance solutions for mcel, the largest GSM operator in Mozambique.

mcel offers voice and GPRS / EDGE services and currently has a growing customer base of around 2 million subscribers. As the Company continues to grow and looks to roll out 3G services in the third quarter of 2007, it wanted to implement effective fraud management and revenue assurance systems to ensure it was maximising its potential revenues and prevent revenue leaks.

Following a competitive tender that involved 5 Companies, the Company was chosen to deploy its Nikira^TM Fraud Management System and Moneta^TM Revenue Assurance System. In addition, the Company will also be deploying SS7 probes as part of the project, to provide mcel with greater network monitoring capability.

Using rules-based alarms and artificial-intelligence driven pattern matching to identify likely fraudulent usage, Nikira enable operators to detect known fraud types and patterns of unusual behaviour in all telecoms environments - wireline (PSTN, ISP, VOIP), wireless (2G, 2.5G, 3G) and across all services (postpaid, prepaid, VAS, MMS, m-commerce).

Moneta is a comprehensive suite of automated revenue assurance tools and capabilities. Moneta offers a set of pre-configured solution templates to address revenue assurance issues across areas such as service fulfilment, 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 in playing an important role in enabling mcel to grow and offer new services. This deal further strengthens Subex Azure's position of being the fraud management and revenue assurance vendor of choice in the African telecommunications market."
