Vodafone Selected XINTEC FMSlite Solution for Fraud Management

5:46 pm   -   September 24th, 2008

FMSlite, the world’s first lightweight Fraud Management System (FMS) for near-real-time roaming fraud detection, has been selected by Vodafone Malta for immediate implementation.

Designed to overcome the challenges of roaming-related fraud, a phenomenon which continues to erode mobile operator revenues worldwide, the FMSlite platform is a lightweight, cost-effective and powerful fraud management system providing a complete set of collection, detection, reporting and dashboard features to ensure fraud detection and the near-real-time monitoring of mobile calls.

Vodafone’s choice accompanies the mandatory introduction of near-real-time roaming data exchange (NRTRDE) on 1st October 2008 by the GSM Association, which is the industry’s global trade body representing more than 750 GSM operators, urging networks to quickly upgrade their fraud detection capabilities to remain competitive.

This unique FMS will give Vodafone immediate access to critical information at a fraction of the cost of a full-blown “total” FMS. More than just detecting fraud, FMSlite will allow Vodafone to apply different detection techniques in near real time, such as suspicious destinations, excessive high usage, hotlist checking, and smart thresholds. In addition to supporting NRTRDE, this innovative FMS offers a growing feature list including MVNO support, dual-IMSI support, and home network fraud detection.
