Dubai, UAE: e& UAE, the telecom arm of global technology group e&, and Mavenir, a leading cloud-native network software provider, today announced a collaboration to deploy a containerized spam, scam and fraud protection solution across e& UAE’s voice network, enhancing protection at scale. Containerized deployment lets e& UAE and Mavenir roll out updates fast, scale capacity on demand and keep services consistent across different environments maintaining the highest level of security standards.

e& UAE is advancing secure, intelligent and future-ready connectivity across the country. Mavenir, known for AI-by-design, cloud-native platforms, brings its award-winning CallShield solution to the partnership.

CallShield is Mavenir’s advanced voice fraud prevention platform that uses AI-powered Threat Detection solutions including call profiling, call sentiment analysis and call patterns validation to detect anomalies and block threats in real time. It applies real-time AI/machine learning to spot and block scams such as robocalls, which are automated unwanted calls, caller ID spoofing, Wangiri or ‘one ring and cut’ missed-call scams that trick people into calling back premium-rate international numbers.

This deployment will enhance the security of e& UAE’s voice core network, help prevent fraud and protect subscribers. It aligns with e& UAE’s broader vision of AI Everything and AI Everywhere, embedding intelligent automation across its infrastructure to deliver smarter, safer, and more responsive services.

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 nuisance communication and voice fraud. This is about trust as much as technology. 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. Together with Mavenir, we will keep expanding these protections across voice and messaging so our customers stay better protected every day.”

Victor Lindberg, VP of Middle East and Africa at Mavenir, added: “We are pleased to collaborate with e& on launching Mavenir’s latest AI-enabled solution, CallShield, which unlocks a new unique business case that enhances customer security and satisfaction. This marks a significant milestone in our shared vision to bring AI-Everywhere in a clear and tangible way. We look forward to continuing this journey with e& through more advanced innovations that are AI-by-design, with Mavenir as a trusted advisor in a long-term strategic partnership.”

This initiative builds on a multi-year strategic technology partnership in 5G Converged Packet Core announced in March 2025 between e& and Mavenir. The selection of CallShield marks the start of a new AI-powered collaboration across multiple layers of the telecoms ecosystem, reinforcing a joint commitment to innovation, security, and customer experience.
