Wholesale Providers

Increased competition and deregulation have brought about a new sets of challenges for growing wholesale, interconnect and various mobile carrier service providers including the need for improved revenue assurance capabilities that need to be tightly integrated into both the carrier’s OSS/BSS systems and their voice switching infrastructure.

Challenges for the Operator

  • Reconciliation capability between customer requests and receivables from and settlements with operators
  • Large number of interconnect agreements makes it difficult for the operators to verify incoming invoices correctly
  • Increased exposure to bypass/interconnect, roaming, PRS, content, call selling and internal frauds
