Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE ) Forum Mobile and Mer Telemanagement Solutions (MTS) are entering into a strategic alliance with the inclusion of the MTS MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) offering as part of the Forum Mobile MVNE offering for MNOs (Mobile Network Operators) and MVNOs.

Powered by MTS, Forum Mobile’s end-to-end MVNE offering enables MNOs and MVNOs the ability to acquire virtual network capabilities, without the need to change their primary business focus.

In addition, MNOs and MVNOs also gain flexible service options and cross-border market presence while retaining independent business control.

MVNO’s using the Forum Mobile offering will gain a customisable, turn-key offering to control pricing and product offerings that enable carriers to achieve significant savings while creating a global mobile experience for the end user.

Furthermore, the MTS offering connects MVNOs and MVNEs to provide a complete offering for all virtual network operations by providing a full end-to end, carrier grade customer care & billing platform that supports multiple operators on a single platform.

With the MTS MVNO offering, operators can have a quick time to market, flexible personalisation, and integration into their existing operations and it supports various lines of business and services including wireless, wireline, VoIP, IPTV, gaming, content and more.

Forum Mobile executive vice-president Benny Yehezkel said the Forum Mobile offering was designed specifically as a turnkey, outsourced offering for mobile carriers, and MTS provides the right back office platform.

"By partnering with a proven industry leader like MTS, we are able to offer our customers an effortless, cost effective solution that removes the complexities of back office operations and allows them to concentrate on revenue generating activities such as sales and marketing," said Yehezkel.

MTS CEO Eytan Bar said Forum Mobile services customers of all sizes and geographies that are looking to gain a competitive advantage by outsourcing their MVNO operations while still maintaining a unique brand and product offering.

"These are the exact advantages the MTS solution offers. We are excited about this partnership and the opportunity it brings to both companies," said Eytan.
