The need for independent and accurate information

Monitoring different telecom operators, their traffic and operations is often a complex task involving a range of advanced tools and platforms. To the government of a country, or its regulatory authorities, this is valuable time diverted from value-adding strategic activities aimed at socio-economic development. Besides the stringent regulatory mandates that need to be complied with, there are also complications involving rising telecom fraud and grey routing that cost the government heavily in terms of revenue leakage.

Continuous visibility on different revenue streams

Regulatory authorities need high-performing telecom network, traffic and service monitoring systems that provide independent and accurate data on traffic exchanged between their licensed local operators and international carriers. This is where the Telecom Traffic Metrics and Revenue Assurance Component helps improve the overall visibility of traffic, while maintaining the integrity and security of operator networks. Using this state-of-the-art solution, governments and regulatory authorities can gather detailed telecom traffic data, metrics and statistics, enabling transparency of operations and expediting decision making.
