IMEI blocking and control, by device serial number and by type-approved model
Answers an operator question: which devices may operate on the network.
IMEI blocking and control
The module applies device lists by IMEI (device serial number) and by type-approved model, in accordance with regulator orders. Every network check receives a response: allowed, observed or blocked.
AvailableHow it operates in the network
The network queries
The switch sends the IMEI on the events it has configured for checking.
Sx-EIR applies
The core applies to the IMEI the rule the operator sets, with the current national and international lists.
Sx-EIR records
Every response is recorded and available for audit and reporting.
What supports it
IMEI check acceptance test protocol, with data integrity tests on calls and messages.
It relies on the same Sx-EIR core, with acceptance test protocols signed by both parties.
What is included and what is not
Included
- Lists by IMEI and by type-approved model
- National and international list sources
- Record of every transaction
Not included
- Device location
- Restriction of a repeated IMEI without verifying the holder: legitimate holder protection belongs to the IMEI–IMSI–MSISDN link
Added according to the project scope
The diagnostic confirms the sources and interfaces the module requires in the operator's network.
Data is processed on the infrastructure the operator designates, under its control.
ATC reviews the platform the operator prioritizes and proposes the appropriate configuration. Sizing and review are provided at no cost.
- Review of the platform and the network interfaces
- Sizing according to the operator's infrastructure
- Staged proposal: module, platform or delegated operation
