e& UAE, the telecom arm of global technology group e&, is teaming up with cloud-native network software provider Mavenir to deploy an AI-powered, containerized spam, scam, and fraud protection solution across its voice network. The initiative leverages Mavenir’s CallShield platform, enhancing subscriber security while enabling fast updates, scalable capacity, and consistent service delivery across environments.
AI at the Core of Voice Security
CallShield applies real-time AI and machine learning to detect anomalies and block threats such as robocalls, caller ID spoofing, and Wangiri “one-ring-and-cut” scams. By analyzing call profiles, patterns, and sentiment, the platform intercepts malicious activity before it reaches end users, protecting both consumers and businesses from nuisance communication and financial loss.
Khaled Al Suwaidi, SVP of Core Networks and Platforms at e& UAE, said, “By bringing AI-driven voice security into the heart of our network, we can detect and stop scams in real time, reduce nuisance traffic for customers, and protect businesses from the impact of voice fraud. CallShield helps us safeguard our customers, improve call answer rates, and keep pace with evolving regulations, while laying the groundwork for a more autonomous network.”
Containerized Deployment for Speed and Scale
The partnership’s containerized architecture allows e& UAE and Mavenir to deploy updates rapidly, scale capacity on demand, and maintain high security standards consistently across the network. This approach aligns with e& UAE’s AI Everything, AI Everywhere vision, embedding intelligent automation across its telecom infrastructure to deliver smarter, safer, and more responsive services.
Victor Lindberg, VP of Middle East and Africa at Mavenir, added, “This marks a significant milestone in our shared vision to bring AI Everywhere in a clear and tangible way. CallShield unlocks a unique business case that enhances customer security and satisfaction, and we look forward to expanding this partnership with more AI-by-design innovations.”
Strategic Partnership Extends Across 5G
The CallShield deployment builds on a multi-year strategic technology partnership between e& and Mavenir announced in March 2025 around 5G Converged Packet Core. This latest initiative demonstrates a commitment to integrating AI across multiple layers of the telecom ecosystem, reinforcing innovation, security, and customer experience as key priorities.
By combining real-time AI analytics with scalable, containerized infrastructure, e& UAE and Mavenir are setting a new benchmark for telecom fraud prevention and network intelligence, ensuring that subscribers stay protected in an increasingly complex communications landscape.
