MVNOs: FRIENDS OR FOES?
Today many in the industry believe that the opportunity for mobile operators to take advantage of the MVNO model far
outweighs their competitive threat. Mobile operators will need to fill their networks (e.g. 3G or 4G), regulators will
demand further roaming and interconnection reductions and new disruptive technologies will compete by reducing
costs. Consequently many operators are already exploring the huge potential of the MVNO market.
At MER, we have the experience and expertise to enable you to capitalize on this opportunity. Our solution allows you
to easily increase revenues with little or no acquisition costs.
CONVERTING OPPOSITION INTO OPPORTUNITY
• Reach new and unexploited customer segments
- Underserved niches due to customization levels
- Strong brand resonance with key customer segments (ethic groups, young users)
- Profit from low-usage customers while protecting your own brand
- Benefit from the reach of leading retail brands
• Optimize network capacity
• Lower cost of sale (pure wholesale service)
• Generate new revenue streams
Simple, Flexible,
No Additional Costs
MER m-Power is an end-to-end solution that provides a
complete set of business & operation support systems,
intelligent network and network elements and a rich suite
of value added services required to facilitate any type of
MVNO, of any size and in any territory. With experience
gained with global operators ranging from tier one MNOs
to greenfield MVNOs, m-Power easily integrates into
existing infrastructure and provides MNOs with a flexible
solution that reduces costs while increasing revenues.
THE RIGHT BUSINESS MODEL FOR YOU
With m-Power we enable you to choose the right business model to complement your wholesale strategy. You may simply
opt for standard wholesale airtime deals, which involves selling airtime minutes to an MVNO and does not require any
additional investment from you. Or you can offer additional services to MVNOs such as billing and rating, customer relationship
management, and other back-office functions. This enables you to generate additional revenues from your wholesale
partnership and reduces the competitive threat as it provides you with an insight into the MVNO’s strategic direction.

We have the Complete Solution
Assisting MNOs to create a symbiotic relationship with MVNOs is our area of expertise. With that in
mind, the m-Power solution provides you with:
• Complete framework for any type of MNVO
