MVNO, NRP, MVNE - Telecom value chain

Some key terminologies in the telecom value chain space


- MVNO`s - a mobile operator that does not own its own spectrum and usually does not have its own network infrastructure. The Partner will have a business arrangement with Three to buy minutes for sale to their own customers.

- NRP - National Roaming Partner: normally have a network that includes a range of MSISDN`s and IMSI`s to connect customers. The National Roaming Partner would normally have a number of business arrangements with traditional mobile operators to allow customers to roam, and buy minutes for sale to their customers.

- MVNE - A Mobile Virtual Network Enabler is a company that provides services to mobile virtual network operators, such as billing, network element provisioning, administration, operations, support of business support systems and operations support systems, and provision of back end network elements to enable provision of mobile network services like mobile phone connectivity. A MVNE does not have a relationship with end-user customers. The MVNE provides infrastructure and services to enable Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) to offer services and have a relationship with end-user customers. MVNEs offer the ability for a MVNO to focus on their core strengths of brand, customer loyalty and marketing and leave the back-end enablement and operations, to MVNEs. They also have shared risk-reward arrangements with the MVNO with various kinds of revenue sharing models, usually tied to the number of subscribers that the MVNO has projected in their business plan.
