Regulatory Framework Preparation

CEIR deployment requires legal amendments, so we provide consulting during legislative updates.

System Deployment

We coordinate requirements with the operator of the central IMEI database and adapt the system to the client’s needs. We then install server equipment and deploy the software.

Pilot Operation

We conduct testing and integrate EW CEIR with telecom operators and state automated systems. The system starts collecting information about subscriber devices and users.

Commercial Operation

Following successful testing, we launch the system into production and provide technical support. IMEI verification rules can be updated to match changes in legislation.
