08.30 - 11.30 Workshop A: Creating An Eff ective Roaming Fraud Solution Towards NRTRDE Adoption (Includes morning refreshments)

General estimates put the loss to operators at 3% to 6% of their annual income. Figures recently released from FIINA (the International Forum of Irregular Network Access) indicate that this could be as much as US $55 billion a year per operator. With new services implemented, adding to the complexity of your roaming partnerships and revenue share, how can you ensure a tight tab is kept on your roaming fraud?

Find out how Smart Communications benefi ted signifi cantly from bringing down the delay in exchange for roaming calls, particularly when adding surveillance and detection.

Join an intense hands-on session which will address the following:

  • Ensuring a quick and cost eff ective deployment of roaming fraud detection and management system with good ROI (within 6-12 months)
  • Implementing clear proof-points when it comes to the future evolution of NRTRDE mechanisms
  • Developing away from fi le-based and near real-time batch (offl ine) processing towards a stream-based, real-time and online (active) processing to combat fraud exposures more eff ectively
