Bangalore, Aug 27 (UNI) Subex Azure Ltd, a leading global provider of Operations Support Systems (OSS) solutions for telecom operators, today announced that it has won a contract to provide Fraud Management (FM) and Revenue Assurance (RA) solutions for Global Vision Telecom (GVT) in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to be deployed in its Prestel and U-COM Congo CDMA networks.

Telecel International which is managing the investments for Global Vision Telecom had recommended Global Vision Telecom to acquire the Fraud Management and Revenue Assurance systems of Subex Azure, the Company said in a release here.

Prestel and U-COM Congo are owned by Global Vision Telecom. It specialized in the design, installation and operation of emerging telecommunications technology in developing countries. After acquiring new mobile and unified licenses in DRC and Nigeria respectively, Global Vision Telecom was concerned about the high risks of fraud prevalent in the African telecoms market. It wanted to put a strategy in place to prevent network abuse for its growing subscriber bases, and validate its processes and ability to charge accurately from day one in these new regions.

Subex Azure would be deploying both its Nikira Fraud Management System and its Moneta Revenue Assurance System. Using rules-based alarms and artificial-intelligence driven pattern matching to identify likely fraudulent usage, Nikira enables 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 was 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.

Michel Tsumbu, COO, Telecel International Pty said in the release ''Our strategy was to have best of breed solutions for Fraud Management and Revenue Assurance as Global Vision Telecom Limited entered these new markets. The choice of Subex Azure was extremely straightforward due to their credentials in the domain, as well as their ability to deliver solutions which are relevant to our kind of market requirements''.
