Illegal gateway exchange unearthed

KARACHI: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) in its ongoing efforts to control grey traffic has unearthed an illegal gateway exchange in Gujrat, a statement said on Wednesday.
A successful raid against the grey operator was carried out along with the FIA team in Gujrat. An illegal VOIP exchange, comprising multiple ports along with other equipment such as laptop, switches, SIMs and modems were confiscated, it said.
One person was arrested and was in the FIA custody for further investigations.
The successful raids against the grey operators were made possible because of the continuous monitoring, commitment and persistent efforts by the PTA to curb the menace of grey traffic, thus, curtailing the loss to the national exchequer.
