Registering mobile devices by IMEI has become a mainstream instrument of digital policy. Such systems now operate in dozens of countries under different names — NEIR in Bangladesh, DIRBS in Pakistan, CEIR in India, national IMEI registration in Uzbekistan — yet they address the same core task, and are known in the industry collectively as a Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR). For regulators and operators weighing one, the practical question is how to design a system that delivers measurable results without creating friction for subscribers.

When people talk about the Product Life Cycle, they usually picture the textbook curve: launch, growth, maturity, decline. In practice it is not a graph but a specific moment when a decision has to be made about a product that still works but no longer matches the reality of the market.

Telecom fraud is one of the fastest-growing threats in the industry. MEF, GSMA, and regional regulators worldwide are dedicating increasing attention to the issue: round tables, working groups, and new legislative frameworks are emerging across Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Europe.

SC.Soft has released a functional update to its USSDC platform, expanding operators' capabilities for launching and developing USSD-based services.

SC.Soft has signed the GSMA Open Gateway Memorandum of Understanding and joined the initiative as a Channel Partner.

Inviting agents, direct partners, and systems integrators to long-term collaboration across African telecoms.

The SC.Soft SMSC platform offers a message routing emulation mode that allows operator engineers to verify the correctness of delivery rules before publishing changes — without sending test messages into the real network. This capability is a characteristic example of an approach in which platform development is measured by how much work and risk it removes from the operator’s team.

The SC.OTA platform has been updated — custom modules are now available, changing the way operators launch new services and manage SIM cards.

SC.Soft will be participating in Mobile World Congress Kigali, one of the leading telecom industry events in Africa, taking place on June 16−18, 2026 in Kigali, Rwanda.

The discussion around device control mechanisms — including IMEI-based approaches — continues to evolve. While implementations differ across markets, the direction is consistent: mobile networks are facing growing requirements for device tracking and management.

A recent survey by the Mobile Ecosystem Forum shows that most players in the market view RCS as a promising option.
However, the key question isn’t whether RCS will take the place of SMS — it’s about how to use both effectively.

SC.Soft introduces its DRA (Diameter Routing Agent) — a solution designed for routing and managing Diameter signaling in 4G/LTE, 5G, and IMS networks. The product enables centralized handling of signaling traffic and supports flexible routing scenarios based on real-time network load and defined policies.
