What is the Difference Between a MVNA MVNO and MVNE? +Why Telgoo5 Software is Pivotal
MVNO stands for Mobile Virtual Network Operators. It describes a telecom service provider that does not actually own the wireless network infrastructure it uses to provide services to its customers. It is common for MVNOs to access mobile data services via MVNA.
When it comes to the world of telecom services, there is a lot of jargon to learn. The acronym-heavy language can look like greek at first, but once the vocab is demystified everything can be understood. A major part of the difficulty is that a lot of the acronyms look similar, but the systems they represent have distinct differences. Today, we both define and highlight the differences between MVNAs, MVNOs, and MVNEs, along with explaining why Telgoo5 software is pivotal for each.
MVNA
MVNA stands for Mobile Virtual Network Aggregators. It describes a telecom provider that operates in a wholesale capacity. An MVNA provides mobile and data services to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs, to be covered in the next section), who then provide billable services to their end users. MVNAs can be challenging to manage, which is where the Telgoo5 platform steps in. Telgoo5 streamlines the billing and operational side of any MVNA business. We help to ensure that services get delivered and that the operator gets paid. Our end-to-end cloud based SaaS platform powers the entire telecom industry, including MVNAs.
MVNO
MVNO stands for Mobile Virtual Network Operators. It describes a telecom service provider that does not actually own the wireless network infrastructure it uses to provide services to its customers. It is common for MVNOs to access mobile data services via MVNA. If you have access to mobile data, there is a chance you are accessing it through an MVNO. Every day, people interact with the telecom business without thinking much about the systems in place to make their connection possible. Telgoo5 offers a fantastic support system to MVNOs. Our modular platform offers an Omni Channel CRM, billing, online charging, and payment engines that drive the global networks that users lean on every single day for data access.
MVNE
MVNE stands for Mobile Virtual Network Enablers. It describes a company that provides network infrastructure like provisioning, administration, operations support systems, and business support systems to MVNOs, who then provide data services to their clients. MVNEs do not actually interact with end-users. While MVNEs are busy supporting MVNOs, Telgoo5 supports MVNEs with our top-notch AT integration that anticipates MVNE needs before they even appear. Telgoo5 appreciates the complexities of the Mobile Virtual Network market and can support companies that provide data services in any capacity.
You may have noticed that the acronyms described above are similar because all three business types operate in the same space - the Mobile Virtual Network space. In many cases, an MVNA provides data to an MVNO, who leans on an MVNE for operational support. The user performing a Google search on his mobile device will have no idea how many companies are involved in making his search happen...unless something goes wrong. Telgoo5 provides an end-to-end cloud-based platform that powers everyone in the MVNE space, with the goal of always providing uninterrupted service to the end-user.
Do not slog through this complicated space alone. Lean on Telgoo5 for all of your telecom needs. We will smooth out the process and make sure you look good along the way.
What is BSS and Difference Between OSS and BSS in Telecom
Anyone who is a business owner today knows that there are plenty of terms that get kicked around. Sometimes it can be really difficult to keep them all straight, and it’s frustrating when we don’t understand what certain ones mean. It’s important for any serious entrepreneur to have a working understanding of industry terms, particularly if they are active in the telecom business.
Anyone who is a business owner today knows that there are plenty of terms that get kicked around. Sometimes it can be really difficult to keep them all straight, and it’s frustrating when we don’t understand what certain ones mean. It’s important for any serious entrepreneur to have a working understanding of industry terms, particularly if they are active in the telecom business.
Two such terms are BSS and OSS. At first glance, these terms seem like they can be totally interchangeable, but they refer to different aspects of a business. BSS and OSS work together to make a system run smoothly, and both need to be fully operational in order to allow your company to scale properly and be that the top of its game.
Simply put, BSS, or “business support system” deals with the needs of your customers. It’s often referred to as a business interface that allows your customers to conduct their transactions fluidly and without any problems. BSS deals with things like billing and customer relations, both of which are extremely important in the telecom space. One of the biggest problems that new companies run into is problems with scaling and billing. Telgoo5’s postpaid billing system is first in its class, and allows your MVNO to rate network trasactions based on raw CDRs. We also offer a CDR mediation process, and built-in user guides so you’re filled in on every step of the process.
A sure-fire sign of a company that doesn’t know what it’s doing is an inability to bill properly. Missing bills, inaccurate itemization, or other issues will mark your telecom company as being one that is unreliable. A solid BSS will help with billing issues and make sure that your customers are getting billed properly each and every time. Telgoo5’s BSS also is cloud-based, which offers another layer of protection for your customers. Since their information is stored in the cloud, it’s easily accessible and not vulnerable to hacks. It’s a much better set-up than other types of BSS systems, which is why Telgoo5 is a great choice for telecom companies that are looking to cement themselves as experts in the field.
OSS stands for “operation support system” and helps operations run smoothly. This is critical if you want to have an interface that is both flexible enough to support all different types of business needs while still being sturdy enough to handle multiple clients in one go. Telgoo5’s OSS was strategically designed to be scalable and customizable for all sorts of different types of companies. We pride ourselves on offering solutions that can be tailored to fit any business needs.
OSS and BSS also can work together to address security concerns. Good security is one of the major concerns for new businesses these days because customers are acutely aware of how easily their information can be compromised. Telgoo5’s platform was designed with security in mind, and customers know that their information will never be leaked to other companies. Since much of our BSS is cloud-based, sensitive customer data is always protected and secure in the cloud, which is safer than just about any other server on earth. This is one of the major perks of working with Telgoo5.
When you combine a good BSS and OSS together, you have a system that works to address all of the needs of a business. Telgoo5’s mandate is to create a system that works for every new telecom company and allows them to focus on scaling while knowing that their infrastructure needs are taken care of. With our OSS and BSS working in tandem, we can eliminate some of the more pressing concerns of new companies, like infrastructure, security and billing needs. Our call center is also equipped to handle customer calls with ease. We provide a fully integrated platform that allows small businesses to skyrocket to success.
