AirGuard EIR

Increasing handset value is driving handset theft around the world. This represents a threat to operator customers and the operator’s bottom line. AirGuard EIR is a core tool in the fight against handset theft. It conforms to the GSM industry recommendation for managing device IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) numbers using black, gray and white lists and allows operators to connect directly to the IMEI Database (IMEI DB) so that stolen device identities can be shared and updated on a global basis. AirGuard EIR also supports powerful capabilities to address handset fraud such as SIM cloning and fraudulent IMEIs.

Beyond AirGuard EIR's anti-theft and anti-fraud capabilities, its device intelligence options provide network-based intelligence and control needed to support optimized delivery of services and content to handsets.  This enables operators to exercise control over the device/subscriber relationship, support device security applications like remote device wipe, and enable device management applications like automated bootstrap provisioning.

Key Options

• Easy Barring – Allows operators to block phones based on phone number rather than IMEI, greatly increasing number of handsets blocked.
• Fraud Analysis – Increases theft deterrence impact of EIR by detecting likely instances of IMEI cloning therefore reducing effectiveness of IMEI tampering.
• Device Register – Provides device information needed for content authors and systems to optimize delivery of content to handsets and for troubleshooting and device provisioning purposes.
• Device Detection – Supports device management and security applications by alerting systems when a particular handset registers to the network.
• Data Mining – Provides operator and external decision makers with information on what handsets are on the network allowing for effective handset portfolio management and service planning.

Key Benefits

• Deters theft by preventing the use of stolen devices with IMEI black lists and barring on a worldwide basis with IMEI database connectivity.
• Reduces theft-related costs such as customer service expenses, concessions, churn, and increased insurance costs.
• Increases effectiveness of EIR strategy with easy barring (bar via MSISDN) and hourly updates to the IMEI database.
• Allows control of handsets for channel control and customer segmentation.
• Enables new cost reducing and revenue increasing solutions by providing external systems and personnel with device intelligence. \
