TSS Fraud Management Solution
FMACS (Fraud Mediation and Conversion System)

The profound concern of mobile operators around the globe is burgeoning roaming fraud. The current HUR process is inadequate: records are delayed in getting routed back to their home network, allowing roaming fraud to occur without immediate detection.

Total Software Solutions preempted the GSMA and has been offering their solution to support NRTRDE and prevent roamer fraud. FMACS©, TSS’ cost efficient end-to-end solution, is exactly what Operators have been searching for as their fraud management solution.

FMACS© supports interfaces among NRTRDE Hub vendors, and allows for exchange between fraud management roamer partners and current fraud systems.

It is FMACS concise optional processing modules that gives Operators a fraud management end-to-end solution. These modules give the flexibility operators need when designing a fraud management system; simply pick and choose the desired functions.

Environment Requirements
Our GSM FMACS© (Fraud Mediation and Conversion System) is a standalone application that will run on any Linux system. FMACS© can run on its own server or in conjunction with other GSM fraud systems on the same server. In addition, FMACS© can use any of the following database releases:

• Oracle
• MYSQL
• DB2

Enhanced performance is achieved by loading into memory the tables needed to mediate and convert input fraud files. FMACS© was developed using C++ object oriented coding techniques. Here again, system performance is a very high priority and always a consideration during development of the product, and the need to accurately process tens of millions of records each hour is our primary focus.

Bench Marking, Disaster Recovery and Clustering
Based on operator volumes, the system can be configured through the use of threads and servers. Each server can support up to 8 threads for processing. Each thread can be configured to process one large operator or many small operators. In addition, FMACS© can be configured with multiple servers (clustering) and each of those servers support up to 8 threads.

Given this configuration (clustering and multiple threading), if any clustered server fails, the processing will switch to another server for completion. Ultimately, the cluster of servers also performs as the disaster recovery procedure. For disaster recovery purposes the use of this configuration would require some of the clustered servers to be located in alternate sites to ensure true disaster recovery capabilities.

Estimated processing power per thread is 10,000 records per second, times that by 8 threads equals 80,000 records per second per server. The system performance per hour would be 288,000,000 records per server.
