Real-time, Scalable Network Monitoring

Prism is a telecom network monitoring probe used to passively monitor your network. Supporting legacy and next generation networks, Prism produces in near real-time, call data records (CDR's) from the low-level signalling protocols traffic.

Prism’s advanced protocol discovery uses new machine learning and AI techniques to identify the telecom signalling paths from the multiple giga bytes per second of data travelling through international data pipes.

Prism seamlessly integrates with third party Big Data, BSS and Business Intelligence platforms via multiple API support to produce performance matrices, used for support and QoS services, and to support the identity of fraudulent behaviour.

The Prism network monitoring probe provides operators with a non-intrusive real-time, scalable protocol monitoring solution.

Supports 3G, 4G, 5G, fixed and mobile networks
Real-time generation of call, session and transaction records
Higher bandwidth hardware accelerated probes of up to 100GB available
Passive monitoring of your network signalling traffic
Advanced packet inspection and protocol discovery
Comprehensive rules-based system to identify traffic for revenue assurance and fraud detection
Seamless integration with Big Data, BSS and Business Intelligence platforms
CSV, SQL, RESTful API integration to 3rd party applications

Key Benefits

Network Agnostic
Prism can be deployed to passively monitor legacy and next generation fixed, mobile, and virtual networks, and supports Diameter, SIP, SS7 and HTTP2.
Billing Reconciliation
Prism is designed to complement existing billing reconciliation functions to aid in the recovery of revenue for services provided but not billed.
Fraud Detection
Prism and it’s sister product MavenShield provides real-time fraud detection with the functionality to configure proactive actions to counter fraudulent behaviour.

Revenue Assurance
Optimized revenue assurance performance for operators to establish and improve on-going processes to avoid future leakage and avoid fines from regional regulators.
Network Monitoring
Real-time monitoring through advanced protocol discovery using machine learning and AI to identify signalling paths from the multiple giga bytes of data.
3rd Party Integration
Prism integrates with operators Big Data, BSS and Business Intelligence platforms, with data records fed into third party reporting tools via multiple API support.

Fraud Detection

Telecoms fraud is increasing at an alarming rate globally and is one of the biggest sources of revenue leakage for every telecoms operator. The annual loss globally to the Telecoms industry from fraud is last estimated by the CFCA (Communications Fraud Control Association) to be $32.7 billion dollars.

Prism and it’s sister product MavenShield provides operators with real-time fraud detection combined with the functionality to configure proactive actions to counter fraudulent behaviour, including session tear-down, forwarding, redirects, transfers and blocking etc.
