Oculeus, a leading provider of innovative software solutions for telecommunications service providers, has deployed its Oculeus Anti-Fraud System (AFS) for Palau National Communications Corporation (PNCC), the national telecommunications provider of the Republic of Palau.
PNCC provides mobile, fixed, broadband and international connectivity services nationwide to residential and business customers. The company operates Palau’s domestic fiber-optic backbone and is currently modernizing the country’s mobile infrastructure.
In common with other Pacific Island nations, PNCC faces unique challenges to its network and is fully committed to protecting its infrastructure against global scam activities and unauthorized international routing schemes that target local consumers.
Oculeus AFS provides PNCC with a dedicated solution to protect its voice network infrastructure by rapidly identifying and blocking such attacks before subscribers and operations are impacted. Oculeus AFS leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) together with anomaly detection to analyze large volumes of telecommunications activity and mitigate fraudulent or abusive traffic in near-real-time. PNCC is using the system in a way that maximizes its automation features and allows the company to apply effective anti-fraud protections.
“As we further modernize Palau’s communications infrastructure, maintaining the highest standards of network integrity is our top priority,” stated Simon Fraser, CEO at PNCC. “We selected the Oculeus solution as it combines the latest technology with a competitive and accessible pricing model, backed by the reassurance of an existing worldwide customer base. The solution also brings great automation benefits and allows us to enhance operational resilience by utilizing and upskilling our existing team.”
“PNCC has a strong regional reputation for its culture of innovation and we are proud to be contributing to the company’s ambitious development,” said Arnd Baranowski, CEO of Oculeus. “We are also pleased to be expanding our presence in the South Pacific, helping to show how small telcos around the world can leverage cutting-edge technology to protect their operations and customers against complex telecoms fraud threats.”
