Araxxe

What Araxxe does

Araxxe SAS is a France-headquartered (Lyon) B2B software and managed-services company founded in 2005 that delivers revenue assurance, end-to-end billing verification, and interconnect fraud detection solutions to mobile network operators (MNOs) and mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) globally. The company serves more than 240 telecom operator customers across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia-Pacific, with disclosed enterprise customers including AT&T, Vodafone, Orange, Telefónica, T-Mobile, MTN, Bouygues Telecom, Etisalat, KPN, Swisscom, Proximus, TIM, Liberty Global, América Móvil, and Turkcell. Its core product surface spans three domains: (1) End-to-End Billing Verification covering retail, roaming, data bundles, Pay TV & VOD, and mobile money; (2) Interconnect Fraud Protection covering messaging bypass (A2P SMS), voice bypass (SIM box, CLI refiling, ghost trunks, false answering), and OTT bypass; and (3) Quality of Service Monitoring for roaming partners and transit carriers.

The platform is built on a global infrastructure of more than 300 proprietary Test Event Generators (robots) equipped with multi-operator SIM cards, deployed across 129+ countries and five continents, that generate real mobile transactions (voice, SMS, MMS, data, 5G) on home and roaming networks. These test events are matched against operator billing data feeds and analyzed using AI-supported anomaly detection methods — including a patented CLI modification detection capability — to surface billing errors, fraud schemes, and QoS issues. Araxxe complements this with three industry-wide observatories (A2P SMS Bypass, Billing Errors, Voice Transit) that publish aggregated fraud and error intelligence across global regions, reinforcing the company's data-positioning advantage.

Araxxe operates a subscription-based managed solutions model with annual billing and an "all-in-one" packaging approach that includes unlimited test volumes rather than per-test or per-call metering. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales supported by participation in GSMA and CFCA industry bodies, regional telecom events (ITW, TARS, M360 Latam), webinars, and content marketing (whitepapers, observatories). The company holds ISO 27001 (first monitoring services provider certified) and ISAE 3402 Type 2 certifications, is backed by French public investor Bpifrance, and is privately held with Christophe Scholer as owner.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Retail Billing Verification Monitors charging and billing processes of mobile services (voice, SMS, MMS, data) on home networks to detect errors before revenue loss or subscriber complaints for telecom operators.
• Roaming Billing Verification Monitors charging and billing of outbound roaming services to detect errors when subscribers roam abroad, covering all subscriber types and roaming zones for mobile network operators.
• Data Bundles Verification Monitors data bundles to detect metering and billing errors impacting data services, including bundle rating, option rating, and fair use policy functioning for telecom operators.
• Pay TV & VOD Billing Verification Monitors Pay TV and Video-on-Demand billing to detect metering accuracy and bundle rating errors before they turn into revenue losses or customer complaints for telecom operators.
