02Grey route detection

Grey route detection by route, timing and content

When international traffic shows up looking like local calls or texts, MCM AI notices. It compares routes, timing and content to find bypass paths and flag them for action.

03SIM farm tracking

SIM farm behavior tracking that groups SIMs into cases

SIM farms act differently from real people. MCM AI watches for SIMs that never move, send huge volumes, or share devices, and groups them into clear cases.

04Shut down and reroute

Shut down bypass and reroute traffic to paid routes

Once bypass is confirmed, Network Shield blocks the SIMs and routes. The same business traffic then flows back through your paid A2P and voice routes.
