Ghana Regulator NCA Issues ImeiXS a License to Operate an IMEI Platform

ACCRA, Ghana, March 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --



ImeiXS announced that it has been issued a license by the National Communications
Authority of Ghana (NCA) to operate an IMEI platform. IMEI stands for International Mobile
Equipment Identity and is a serial number unique to every mobile device.



The basic function of the ImeiXS platform is that any reported loss or theft of a
registered device will lead to an automatic and instant block of that IMEI across all
participating operators rendering that device unusable in the country. This should
significantly impact phone related crime and increase confidence in the use of mobile
equipment and other value added services.



Mobile security has become a priority for everyone. A lot of personal data now resides
on phones - contacts, messages, photographs, emails, financial information and documents.
In the corporate world, the mobile device is integrated into the office environment and is
used to access sensitive and confidential company information. These advances make it even
more important than ever before that the phone is secure. At the same time, phone theft or
loss is a rapidly growing problem that has a significant impact on society.



The ImeiXS platform will also be used in the fight against counterfeit phones.
Counterfeit phones are of poor quality, do not operate well, and cause interference with
the network. They impact health and safety, environment, security, quality of service and
loss of revenue. Network operators lose revenue from reduced user services and suffer on
quality of service perception.



Additional benefits of the ImeiXS platform are that insurance companies are willing to
insure phones registered on the platform against loss and theft whilst banks are eager to
use it for identity management and to fight fraud.



In order to deliver this service to the public ImeiXS is working closely with the NCA
and the local telecommunication operators. ImeiXS will soon announce the schedule for the
commencement of the services
