The past months, fraudsters have become very innovative when it comes to interconnect bypass fraud. Although traditional bypass fraud will exist as long as termination rates are higher than retail tariffs, several trends & new types of fraud have popped up, all having the same goal, which is to avoid paying you interconnect termination fees.

The past months, fraudsters have become very innovative when it comes to interconnect bypass fraud. Although traditional bypass fraud will exist as long as termination rates are higher than retail tariffs, several trends & new types of fraud have popped up, all having the same goal, which is to avoid paying you interconnect termination fees.

• Do you know that termination rates are increasing in several parts of the world? As a result of this, other operators tend to increase termination rates as well for incoming traffic originated in these countries. Bypass fraudsters know this probably before you...
• Are you aware that SMS bypass is becoming a big issue in countries where termination of voice traffic is heavily regulated?
• Have you ever seen your SIM cards being abused for bypass towards international destinations? Cheap international tariff plans offer the ideal incentive to fraudsters to internationalise their business which is very hard to detect...

It is clear that interconnect fraud encompasses a variety of fraud types which need to be tackled in an integrated way.

Are you aware that SMS Fraud is rising and involves different fraud types such as spam, arbitrage & smuggling? Have you ever faced Pbx hacking attacks leading to revenue share fraud?

WHOLESALE & RETAIL BUSINESS MONITORING

We care about your revenues, whether they are wholesale or retail revenues! Our Wholesale Business Monitoring solution is taking care of interconnect fraud in your network whereas our Retail Business Monitoring solution is monitoring your billing chain, both on a national and roaming level. Both solutions are complimentary and are based on the same technology which makes it easy to swap whenever there is a need for. Fraud is a dynamic phenomenon and you deserve a flexible partner to manage fraud in your network!
In order to provide best-in-class services, we manage testing resources in 160 countries providing access to wholesale & retail routes which are used by both products. All services are offered in a managed service mode which makes it easy to deploy and cost effective.

During the past decade, operators have focussed on purchasing system installations rather than deploying managed solutions. With this approach, Fraud and Revenue Assurance teams have ended up with poorly integrated software, out of date pieces of hardware and partial coverage of revenue streams.

Do the following phrases sound familiar?
"Prepaid is covered but not postpaid",
"Voice is covered, data not yet!",
"2G is monitored but not yet 3G",
"We do not monitor roaming revenues, only domestic services!"

A new approach features a promising alternative! Instead of integrating boxes and software, this new paradigm proposes "Fraud & Revenue Assurance as a service". With this approach, Fraud & Revenue Assurance teams can subscribe to the monitoring scope they need for the duration they need.

ONLY ADVANTAGES...

The vision of "Fraud & Revenue Assurance as a Service" is based on separating tools from their actual use of those tools. Araxxe operates an infrastructure for multiple operators. The infrastructure is made of test call generators rolled out around the world and centrally operated software. Araxxe delivers "Fraud detection services" or "Billing verification services" in a "pay-per-use" mode. You only pay for the capacity you use! This has the following advantages:

• Economies of scale + costs sharing = increased cost effectiveness!
• Because of platform readiness, implementation timeframes are drastically reduced!
• Flexible monitoring scope! If you want to launch 4G, test new roaming tariff plans imposed by your regulator,... Araxxe will swap capacity and change the scope in just a few days!
• Global network of hardware already rolled out, helps you monitor what happens in your network but also what happens with calls to and from other networks. Everywhere! Now!
• The managed services approach allows your Fraud and Revenue Assurance teams to focus on risks analysis and leakages fixing instead of spending time to fix their internal monitoring tool.
