Mobileum Inc. (“Mobileum”), a leading global provider of analytics and network solutions, and Apate.ai (“Apate”) have announced a partnership that equips communications service providers (CSPs) with advanced AI-powered fraud prevention capabilities designed to detect, disrupt, and investigate scam call operations.
