We believe we can help Zambian businesses improve customer authentication in the provision of telecoms, financial and many other end-user services,” concludes Lipshitz.Īxon Wireless has enrolled over 200 million people globally using its customer registration technology and handheld devices since commercial launch. “We see potential to expand into other verticals such as banking and insurance where there is scope for remote biometric account opening. Since winning the SIM registration tender in 2018, Lipshitz says Axon Wireless has been impressed by the growth potential of Zambia which remains one of Africa’s most stable countries with improving infrastructure and excellent people talent. “Our software incorporates agent sign-up incentives which means everyone wins,” Lipshitz added. In addition, the software is flexible which means any amendments to ZICTA SIM registration requirements can be easily actioned. The software developed in Joburg by Axon is loaded onto Zambian agents’ existing mobile phones which minimises SIM registration costs. In the process, income opportunities have been created in a fellow African country and MNO efficiency improved,” says Justin Lipshitz, CEO of Axon Wireless. After using South Africa as a proving ground, we took what worked and totally customised it for Zambia. “This is pan-African knowledge transfer at its best. The African-developed SIM (Subscriber Identity Mobile) registration system is helping Zambian mobile network operators (MNOs) comply with ZICTA (Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority) KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements.Īfter winning a tender last year, the system designed by Johannesburg-based firm Axon Wireless is now fully bedded down and processing tens of thousands of mobile SIMs across Zambia each day.
