Hyderabad – 1 Aug, 2018 – XIUS, a leading supplier of mobile technology, mobile payments and enterprise offerings has unveiled its 'vData Core', a patent-pending telco grade platform. This platform, the first of its kind, incorporates Machine Learning (ML) at the core and equips Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) to boost revenue and thrive.
Today, a majority of Communication Service Providers' (CSP) revenue is generated from data services. It is estimated that by 2021, the average data consumption will be 52 Exabytes per month with 70 percent of mobile data being video. This makes it necessary for CSPs to be well prepared in effectively monetizing the unimaginable surge in data usage.
With vData Core, XIUS will enable MVNOs to offer personalized data packages and enchant their end users with customized customer experience through Machine Learning and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). Additionally, vData Core's capacity optimization provides visibility into the entire infrastructure making it possible to meet changing service demands. MVNOs can leverage vData Core's capabilities to improve their operational efficiency, increase agility to market and deliver services to end users more effectively.
5G expects network slicing for various customers and classes of customer which MVNOs can now achieve through NFV. AI based slicing and crucial configuring of varied products, services and plans for each customer is made extremely simple by vData Core.
One of the key challenges faced by MVNOs is that a greater portion of Average Revenue per User (ARPU) is generated through data services but lack of innovation has led to flattened revenue and increased customer churn.
G V Kumar, CEO and Managing Director of XIUS said, "MVNOs have been fast to capitalize on the modern day consumer's data needs and understand that consumers often pick an operator based on data packages. It has also been proven that they can grow their business through customer-centricity. vData Core will enable MVNOs to understand their customer and innovate based on consumer needs. It will help them to efficiently manage and monetize data and ultimately enhance customer experience".
XIUS vData Core helps MVNOs beat competition with on-the-fly and quick launch of data plans, add-ons and combo packages. The Machine Learning (ML) driven auto-generation of personalized product / service offerings to individual subscribers improves customer loyalty and reduces churn. Over a period of time, with extended and vigilant use, it is likely to boost data ARPU by about 15 percent and transform product engagement by about 25 percent.
XIUS is offering highly attractive commercial models to interested customers.
January 2018 – Electroneum, the mobile-friendly cryptocurrency has formed a groundbreaking relationship with the mobile and payments technology provider, XIUS which has an active subscriber base of over 65 million people.
XIUS is the telecom operating brand of Megasoft. A market leader in the mobile and payments space, XIUS has over 230 deployments for customers spanning 6 continents, with an average of more than USD 1 billion worth of payment transactions processed every month. Its Corporate Headquarters is in Massachusetts, USA and its Global Delivery Centre is in Hyderabad, India.
XIUS has a 25-year history of innovation, having filed more than 120 patent applications in total. In partnering with Electroneum, XIUS has shown extraordinary clarity of vision and belief in cryptocurrency as a truly viable payments solution.
The XIUS 'Payment Manager' software services 1.2 million agents, dealers and distribution points spread across 9 LATAM countries. Its reach and specialist payment processing capabilities will be invaluable as Electroneum works with XIUS towards integration of Electroneum as a payment method across Latin America. This partnership will also facilitate the promotion of Electroneum's mobile mining app as a way to offset phone costs.
This is a huge leap forward for Electroneum as it works towards becoming the first cryptocurrency to enter mass usage. Since raising $40m in its ICO, with close to 500,000 registered users, Electroneum has worked hard to become a viable proposition for telecommunications companies to build integration with.
This agreement, the first of several currently under way, firmly establishes Electroneum as one of the most exciting cryptocurrencies in the world.

The alliance aims to leverage local market intelligence, technical expertise and global MVNO experience
HYDERABAD/LONDON - April 05, 2016 – XIUS, India’s major supplier of telecom and mobile payments technology and United Kingdom’s Hebitel Ltd, a global provider of MVNO management consulting services today announced a partnership to help companies launch Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in India.
XIUS and Hebitel are partnering to offer clients a one-stop-shop for MVNO launches in India. XIUS will provide the important technology and integration expertise. Hebitel will provide experienced personnel and services that include license application, market identification and business planning, experienced interim staff and all launch activities necessary from an MVNO perspective.
The MVNO concept has evolved over the years and many of the present day mobile subscribers are customers of MVNOs. For instance, about 10-15 percent of all mobile subscribers in Europe are subscribers of MVNOs. With TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) recently approving rules to regulate MVNO in the country and such services now awaiting final ministerial approval before becoming a law, the MVNO landscape in India is expected to scale the next level of growth. Independent research firms validate this and predict India to be one of the world’s largest markets for MVNOs.
IDC forecasts total mobile services revenue in India to reach US $37 Billion in 2017. If Indian MVNOs are successful in following European experience, the market could easily represent a US $4 Billion opportunity very quickly.
“Successful MVNOs know their market niche and focus on servicing it well,” says Paul Nicholas, Managing Director of Hebitel. “Across the world we see very successful MVNOs targeting youth, roaming markets, international calling and others. With the immense scale of the Indian market we know that many niche services will spell huge success for our MVNO clients.”
Launching an MVNO is not without risk, however. History shows that not all MVNOs can expect to succeed. It is essential that an MVNO launching in the Indian market is aware of international best practices and is able to adapt to the specific demands of the Indian market.
G.V. Kumar, CEO of XIUS notes that “With a presence of nearly 25 years, XIUS operates both, in Indian and international telecom markets. Our Mobile Services Platform (MSP) manages more than 350 million phone calls a day. Having built our own successful business in India gives us the local knowledge to provide MVNO entrants a real advantage in this complex market.”

XIUS, a leader in delivering innovative telecom solutions for mobile operators and MVNOs worldwide and the telecom division of Megasoft Limited, today announced the launch of its eCogNito solution – an end-to-end mobile transaction platform. This launch will be offered as a pilot to Bharti Airtel, India’s leading integrated telecom company, under a memorandum of understanding signed between the two companies.
“Our eCogNito solution offers Mobile Network Operators a quantum leap in operational efficiency of their revenue assurance systems by providing anytime, anywhere electronic talk time charging and bill payment in self service mode,” said Sunny DeWakar, president of XIUS’s eCogNito division. “Additionally, it simplifies and speeds up day-to-day mobile transactions and is an ideal replacement for smart cards that are currently being used for different applications.”
“We have generated early interest with the current launch of our mobile commerce service in India, and we already have more than 260,000 customers signed up,” said Pallab Mitra, head of m-Commerce for Bharti Airtel. “We believe that the solutions being offered by XIUS will improve the ease of use and accessibility of new products and services that we plan to offer with our m-commerce initiatives.”
Bharti Airtel has more than 50 million users. With the company’s current rural initiatives, eCognNito’s ease of use solutions will improve accessibility, penetration and adoptions of Bharti Airtel’s m-commerce offerings to their rapidly growing customer base.
“Bharti Airtel is one of the most successful and innovative telecom providers in India. It has a strong reputation for providing world-class services to its more than 50 million subscribers,” said G.V. Kumar, CEO of XIUS. “We are pleased to have been chosen by such an industry leader to pilot our latest solution, which we are confident will allow operators worldwide to more quickly and easily rollout their m-commerce services.”
XIUS’s eCogNito solution extends the division’s Intellectual Property in embedded RFID, touch interfaces and secure flash controllers developed in partnerships with two leading international semiconductor companies to develop two unique products custom designed for mobile applications.
A network-agonistic Contact-less SIM/(U)SIM application based on an unique dual chip architecture with onboard cryptographic coprocessors, eCogNito is compliant with international industry standards in multiple verticals - GSM, 3GPP, ETSI (telecom), ISO 14443, Mifare™, FeliCa™, NFC (contact-less cards) and EMVCo (Visa, CAST), VGP, as well as GlobalPlatform (Banking).
Another innovation, designed with state-of the-art printed electronics technology, is a paper-thin self-service terminal device with through-the-glass touch sensing termed Active Posters (APs). These can be mounted behind any retail shop with glass front, instantly transforming it into a 24x7 storefront.
To be issued by mobile network operators, the CL SIMs will work with the millions of existing handsets in-use, allowing consumers to perform contact-less transactions for prepaid recharge, electronic bill payment, booking movie tickets and accessing digital content, coupons/tokens on the move - all of this with easy-to-use and simple, but intuitive, touch of their handset to ‘target icons’ on the APs anywhere, anytime.
Consumers will also be able to touch their handsets to ‘target icons’ on APs placed in cafes, music shops, multiplexes, fast food restaurants, etc. to automatically set-up local, high-speed free data connections using multiple short-range wireless connectivity technologies (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.) and download rich media content like video clips, games and animations in minutes to their handset/memory cards.

XIUS, a leader in delivering innovative telecom solutions for mobile operators and MVNOs worldwide, and Diemo, the revolutionary new real-time mobile banking services provider, today announced a USD $15 million agreement under which Diemo has chosen the XIUS Mobile Services Platform to power the launch and delivery of its paradigm-changing service offering in the South American region. Additionally, Diemo has chosen XIUS as its System Integration Partner for supply and management of other third-party professional services including content vendors and other value-added services partners.
XIUS’s Mobile Services Platform is a next-generation convergent platform for Mobile Virtual Network Enablers (MVNEs), Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), new entrants into mobile telecommunications and next-generation providers.
Diemo aims to provide banking and payment services for un-served and underserved markets as well as mobile access. It will roll out its “Diemo correspondent franchise” in small stores, gas stations and lottery agents to provide financial transactions in areas never before serviced by existing banking institutions. The company has also established strategic relationships with retail chains for selling its MVNO services and for serving as end distribution points for its mobile-driven, real-time cash transfer offerings.
Diemo will partner with Digitel, the GSM operator in Venezuela, for the first such real-time cash transfer-focused MVNO in the country. It plans to roll out similar country-specific MVNOs across several countries in the South American region, starting with Colombia in late 2008. Other countries will be announced in the coming weeks. XIUS will be responsible for the supply and turnkey management of the customized core network infrastructure for enabling Diemo’s mobile launch through its multi-country rollout.
Announcing the deal, G.V. Kumar, CEO of XIUS, said, “XIUS is very excited about the opportunity to work with such a pioneering organization as Diemo. The agreement is a clear demonstration and validation of the value and attractiveness of our Mobile Services Platform for innovative MVNOs aiming to acquire and support a large subscriber base within aggressive timelines.”
Kumar added, “The contract with Diemo is a multimillion-dollar, multi-year contract and delivers on our promise to provide the next generation of services-centric, core network infrastructure. Our Mobile Services Platform offers powerful services, rapid deployment and management of applications that seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure and third-party solutions.”
“XIUS is the clear leader in core network infrastructure for next-generation carriers looking to deploy innovative services, and we look forward to working with XIUS and leveraging on their knowledge and experience in the area of authentication, billing, subscriber ownership and interoperability,” said Roman Martinez, CEO of Diemo. “We have partnered with the best-in-breed vendors and have additionally chosen XIUS as our SI partner based on its proven expertise in integrating and managing complex deployments comprising multiple third-party solutions.”
Martinez continued, “This will greatly enhance our capability to rollout innovative subscriber specific services, enabling us to concentrate on our core business, which is giving access to the financial world to millions of un-banked and un-served people in our continent. The Mobile Services Platform is a natural fit for Diemo’s networks in Venezuela and beyond. More specifically, XIUS’s components will greatly enhance our ability to meet the changing needs of subscribers and to scale for growth across millions of potential users. With XIUS’s technology, Diemo will achieve flexibility in pricing, branding and service management across multiple network deployments.”
“The partnership with Diemo is an important strategic win for XIUS, as it extends the global reach of the XIUS Mobile Services Platform into Central and South America,” said Upendra Bhatt, vice president of sales for XIUS. “Both regions represent emerging markets that are ready to consume the entire spectrum of services that our platform enables.”
XIUS, a leader in delivering innovative, revenue-generating solutions to mobile operators and MVNOs worldwide, today announced that the Mexican patent office has allowed XIUS’s Mexican patent application pertaining to the supervisory controls of wireless communications. The company will be discussing this technology this week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in Hall 1 Stand G63.
This allowance follows the issuance of U.S. patents 7,197,321; 7,206,569 and 7,218,912, which also relate to the supervisory control of wireless communications. This patented technology is at the core of the company’s Mobile Guardian solution, which combines powerful access management capabilities with leading-edge content-filtering technology.
Mobile Guardian provides operators with a product that allows consumer and enterprise subscribers to act as “guardians” for all lines on their accounts, monitoring and managing mobile content, voice and SMS usage in real time.
Mobile Guardian puts management tools directly into the hands of subscribers, allowing them to select content categories, create specific contact lists, customize usage settings and define allowances to meet their specific needs.
“In today’s mobile environment, access management is critical, as inappropriate and dangerous content is becoming pervasive,” said G.V Kumar, CEO of XIUS. “Our Mobile Guardian solution is especially important for operators who want to help parents shield their children from this type of content. Subscribers are demanding access management, and we believe this is a service that will differentiate the mobile operators who provide it.”
XIUS, a leader in delivering innovative, revenue-generating solutions to mobile operators and MVNOs worldwide, today announced INergy, an IN offload solution, which allows wireless telecommunication carriers to offload traffic from their existing IN session control and prepaid applications without expensive capacity expansions and/or network upgrades. The XIUS IN offload solution therefore vastly reduces the traditional costs associated with handling surges in traffic. XIUS executives discuss this and more at booth 1G63 at Mobile World Congress, taking place today through February 14th at the Fira de Barcelona.
“We are very pleased to bring INergy to market,” said Ersin Galioglu, COO of XIUS. “To effectively compete in today’s mobile telecommunications industry, mobile network operators must continually drive their operating costs down. INergy drastically reduces the cost of offloading traffic, so that operators can more efficiently deliver services and thereby increase profit margins.”
In the effort to stem the expense of upgrading an IN to the next capacity tier, XIUS allows carriers to route all traffic through the IN offload platform’s intelligent routing engine. The routing engine uses carrier-defined criteria for determining call traffic flow, allowing the carrier to send only required traffic through to the IN platform. This allows the carrier to extend the length of time they stay within the licensed parameters for the IN network components and defer upgrade expense. The solution achieves this by offloading the processing of select prepaid call traffic onto the XIUS platform. XIUS also can customize the solution to process regular subscriber traffic in addition to prepaid users. INergy is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2008.
XIUS, a leader in delivering innovative, revenue-generating solutions for mobile operators and MVNOs worldwide, today announced an agreement under which ASPIDER Solutions, a leading European MVNE, will deploy the XIUS Mobile Services Platform to power the growth of their MVNE operations, including the recently announced wholesale deal with Vodafone Malta. More deals across Europe and the US will be announced by ASPIDER Solutions in the coming months.
XIUS Mobile Services Platform is a next-generation convergent platform for Mobile Virtual Network Enablers (MVNEs), Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), new entrants into mobile telecommunications and next-generation providers. ASPIDER Solutions intends to leverage the XIUS Mobile Services Platform to extend its range of network services including core network, intelligent network and BSS offerings.
“This is an important win for XIUS, and we are very excited about the opportunity of working with a pioneering organization such as ASPIDER Solutions,” said Ersin Galioglu, chief operating officer of XIUS. “Our partnership with ASPIDER Solutions delivers on our promise to provide the next generation of core network infrastructure. Using XIUS’s Mobile Services Platform, ASPIDER Solutions can offer MVNOs a powerful service-oriented platform that supports rapid deployment and management of applications that seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure and third-party solutions.”
Upendra Bhatt, vice president of sales for XIUS, added, “This partnership is particularly strategic for XIUS as it expands our global reach into the European marketplace -- a key area of emphasis for our company.”
According to Luis Carrera, managing director of ASPIDER Solutions International, “We look forward to working with XIUS and leveraging their knowledge and experience in the areas of innovative network infrastructure and BSS. XIUS has developed comprehensive plug-and-play components that will greatly enhance our ability to roll out innovative MVNE services that meet the changing needs of subscribers. The deal with XIUS strengthens our position as a leading MVNO Enabler that offers one-stop-MVNO and wholesale solutions for both MVNOs and MNOs irrespective of country borders.”
Luis Carrera continued, “This deployment supports our customer growth throughout Europe and the US, and is an integral component in our partnerships with leading Mobile Network Operators and MVNOs. The infrastructure supporting our MVNO solutions must be reliable, flexible and scalable, and XIUS technology is a natural fit. We chose this solution to enhance our speed to market and for its unique ability to provide flexibility in pricing, branding and service management across multiple countries.”
Both parties expect the global MVNO market to develop in much the same way as other regions including the Benelux, Scandinavia and the UK.
XIUS, a leader in delivering innovative, revenue-generating solutions to mobile operators and MVNOs worldwide, and International Agencies Company Limited, INTERCOL, a Bahraini based diversified conglomerate with over 50 years of business, today announced that Zain Bahrain has deployed XIUS’s InstaRoam product to provide roaming service for start-up mobile operators and to enhance its roaming services. Zain Bahrain is part of Zain Group, a leading wireless service provider in seven Middle Eastern and 15 sub-Saharan African countries. The operator currently provides services to more than 42 million subscribers.
XIUS’s InstaRoam offers instant roaming access with a single agreement into more than 500 networks in more than 250 countries. The solution eliminates complex testing procedures and the need for securing operator agreements, and its dual-IMSI architecture gives customers a global roaming footprint. Competing roaming technologies normally take several man years to build, inevitably leading to subscriber churn and loss of revenue. With InstaRoam, operators are able to deploy roaming capabilities within a matter of weeks.
Intercol has partnered with XIUS to cover three geographies namely kingdom of Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
“It is our mission to provide world-class, high-quality mobile services to each of our subscribers worldwide, and we pride ourselves in giving customers seamless connectivity no matter their location,” said Dr Ahmed Al Shatti, chief operating officer of Zain (Bahrain). “To fulfill our quality guarantee, we partner with only the industry’s top solutions providers. XIUS is supplying the technology and support we require to maintain our reputation for quality and innovation.”
“EMEA continues to be one of the world’s fastest growing regions for mobile services, and Zain Bahrain marks an important deployment in this critical region,” said Ersin Galioglu, chief operating officer of XIUS. “It is a true testament to the quality of our solutions and support to be chosen by such a major player in this region.”
