Build, Enable and Scale
Multiple MVNOs on One
Core Platform

A Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE) provides the network infrastructure, software, integration, and operational capabilities that enable MVNOs to launch and manage mobile services. An MVNE can provide core network functions, subscriber management, connectivity with host MNO networks, charging and billing integration, and OSS/BSS capabilities, depending on the deployment model.

An MVNO provides mobile services to end users under its own brand while relying on an MNO for network access. Depending on its business model, an MVNO may operate some or all of its own network functions. An MVNE, by contrast, provides the technology, infrastructure, integration, and operational capabilities that enable one or more MVNOs to launch and manage mobile services.

An MVNE can use a multi-tenant architecture to support multiple MVNOs on shared network infrastructure. Each MVNO can have its own subscriber profiles, service configurations, policies, and operational requirements while sharing the underlying platform. This approach allows the MVNE to centralize network operations while supporting different MVNO brands and service models.

An MVNE connects its core network and service platforms with the host MNO network through standardized telecom interfaces and integration mechanisms. Depending on the network architecture, these can include interfaces based on Diameter, GTP, SIP, and other 3GPP-defined protocols. The integration scope depends on the host MNO, access technology, subscriber management model, and services required by the MVNO.

The network functions included in an MVNE deployment depend on the required architecture and service scope. IPLOOK can provide 4G EPC and 5G Core functions including MME, SGW, PGW, AMF, SMF, UPF, HSS/HLR, UDM/AUSF, PCF/PCRF, NRF, NSSF, and NEF. Additional capabilities such as IMS, voice services, charging, AAA, and OSS/BSS can be integrated according to the project requirements.

Yes. IPLOOK provides APIs and standardized network interfaces to support integration with existing OSS/BSS platforms, CRM systems, billing systems, network elements, and other third-party components. Its OSS/BSS capabilities include customer care, order management, subscriber and resource management, charging, billing, and payment functions, allowing the integration scope to be adapted to the operator's existing environment.

Yes. IPLOOK provides converged 4G EPC and 5G Core capabilities that support the evolution from LTE to 5G. Its converged core architecture combines 4G and 5G network functions and supports 5G Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) deployment scenarios. This allows an MVNE to maintain existing 4G services while introducing 5G capabilities as network and business requirements evolve.

Deployment time depends on the network architecture, host MNO integration, subscriber scale, OSS/BSS requirements, testing, data migration, and deployment environment. IPLOOK uses software-based and cloud-native network functions that can be deployed on cloud, virtualized infrastructure, or COTS servers. The actual project schedule is defined based on the required architecture, integration scope, testing plan, and commercial launch requirements.
