Equipment Identity Register
Stolen and fraudulent devices are an ever-present danger to the Quality of Service of Mobile Networks. It is important to eliminate these unauthorized devices to minimize the risk to operator revenues and customer experience. Invigo Equipment Identity Register (EIR) enables operators to control and prevent stolen or fraudulent devices from accessing operator networks. It gives operators and law enforcement agencies unprecedented power to cut crime and eliminate unauthorized activity from their networks. EIR also directly interfaces with the worldwide GSMA Central database, which lets operators query and exchange data down to the individual IMEI level.
The capabilities of EIR include blocking stolen devices and even locking a SIM card to a device. This enables operators to define marketing bundles and device-based tariff plans while ensuring only approved devices can take advantage of the offers.
