Becoming a Full Mobile Virtual Network Operator (Full MVNO) is a strategic move that gives telecom providers independence, control, and the ability to innovate at their own pace. Unlike light MVNOs, which rely heavily on the host operator’s core network, a Full MVNO operates key mobile core components — such as HLR/HSS, PCRF/PCF, SMSC, and billing systems — while leasing only the radio access from a Mobile Network Operator (MNO).
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication refers to the automatic exchange of data between devices without human intervention, typically over telecom networks. It underpins many Internet of Things (IoT) applications, enabling devices like smart meters, industrial sensors, fleet trackers, and connected vehicles to share information in real time.
Open Gateway is a global initiative led by the GSMA to transform traditional telecommunications networks into open, developer-ready platforms. It achieves this through a unified framework of standardized APIs that give businesses, developers, and service providers secure, interoperable access to advanced network capabilities — regardless of operator or country.
eSIM and Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) technologies are no longer futuristic concepts — they are real, growing, and transforming how connectivity is managed across consumer devices, vehicles, and IoT deployments. But despite the progress, true large-scale adoption is still in its early stages. What’s holding it back? And what needs to change?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to reshape the telecom landscape, delivering measurable value while paving the way for future innovation. GSMA Intelligence’s latest analysis, based on AI deployments from 250 operators worldwide, offers a snapshot of where the industry stands and where it’s heading.
Private LTE and 5G networks are transforming the way industries operate. From mining and energy to transportation and manufacturing, organizations are turning to private networks for secure, high-performance connectivity tailored to their specific needs.
