What Are The Benefits Of An MVNA?

An MVNA (Mobile Virtual Network enabler or operator) is a company that does not own any mobile infrastructure but provides mobile services to end users by leasing capacity from existing MNOs (Mobile Network Operators). A typical MVNA, therefore, offers its own branded mobile services, including voice and data, to subscribers by ‘piggybacking’ on the infrastructure of one or more MNOs. MVNAs does not own any spectrum and they do not need to build or maintain any cell towers or other mobile infrastructure. This makes them much less capital-intensive businesses than MNOs. In theory, it should also be easier and quicker for an MVNA to turn a profit because they have low fixed costs. MVNAs typically focus on segmenting the mobile market in some way that gives them a competitive edge. For example, they might focus on providing mobile services to specific geographical areas or demographic groups that are underserved by the major MNO

So you want to launch a mobile virtual network operator (MVNA)?

 An MVNA could be a great way to get into the telecoms market quickly and with low investment, but there are also some potential pitfalls. 

The main benefits of an MVNA are/: 

1. Low investment – an MVNO can be launched with a relatively small amount of capital compared to other telecoms' business models.

 2. Low risk – as an MVNA does not need to invest in its own infrastructure, the risks associated with launching a new telecoms business are much lower.

 3. Flexible – an MVNA can tailor its offering to specific market segments or geographical areas, which gives it greater flexibility than other business models. 

4. Quick to launch – because an MVNA does not need to build its own infrastructure, it can be up and running much faster than other telecom businesses.

 5. Experience – by partnering with an existing mobile network operator (MNO), an MVNO can benefit from their experience and expertise in the telecoms market.
