(NASHVILLE, TN) November 1, 2019—Equinox Information Systems, a trusted partner to hundreds of telecom companies, is pleased to supply Cable Bahamas Ltd (CBL) with an automated fraud management solution (FMS) to monitor their Metaswitch network. Currently processing hundreds of millions of records per day, Protector is widely recognized as the industry’s most reliable and affordable tool for combatting telecommunications fraud. CBL, the leader in delivering the Bahamas’ fastest and most reliable high-speed Internet service, licensed the Protector system last month and worked with Equinox to configure and deploy the system quickly. A primary reason for the quick project turnaround is CBL’s desire to take advantage of Protector’s automatic blocking and call tear down features, which allow them to further safeguard their network and their customers.
“Our search for an affordable, reliable solution led us to straight to Equinox,” explained John Kemp, Director Network Operations & Telecoms, for Cable Bahamas Ltd. “CBL has worked tirelessly to become the leading internet and communications supplier to Bahamians. The protection offered by Equinox’s fraud management system will allow us to continue delivering unbeatable services at the lowest rates in the country.”
Protector has a proven record helping telecom companies combat even the newest fraud schemes. Immediate alerts about unwanted/ potentially dangerous activity speed response time and mitigate risk. Customizable, dynamic monitoring metrics allow Protector to detect all types of fraud across all customer bases and call types. Advanced blocking protocols also allow Protector to stop unwanted activity at the source, including tearing down calls in progress. Protector’s reputation is well earned, having saved carriers hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud losses last year alone.
“Protector’s fraud fighting tools reduce carriers’ risk and help them defend against telecom fraud loss,” said David West, Executive Vice President of Equinox Information Systems. “Equinox is honored to be selected by Cable Bahamas as their fraud management solutions partner and looks forward to a long, rewarding relationship with them as we serve their needs into the future.”
