From operator to MVNO and now MVNE Following the launch of its mobile virtual network operator (#MVNO), Nomo, Brazilian telecom company Algar Telecom is now strategically shifting gears to become a mobile virtual network enabler (#MVNE). The move, outlined by Leandro Nazareth Souto, head of innovation and development at Brain (Algar's innovation hub), positions Algar to enable smaller internet service providers (ISPs) to offer mobile services under their own brands. Currently, Algar is piloting its MVNE service with five small ISPs, validating the minimum viable product (MVP). Nazareth confirmed at the MobiXD 2025 event in São Paulo that the MVNE platform is expected to be fully operational by July of this year. "We started as an operator, then an MVNO, and by mid-year, we'll become an MVNE," he stated. Algar's vision for this platform is to empower ISPs, particularly those with 30,000 to 40,000 clients, to "complement their portfolios with mobile network as a retention strategy." The MVNOs operating on Algar's platform will be white-label, utilizing Algar's core infrastructure to manage SIM cards. Mirroring Nomo's 100% digital model, the app and back-office functionalities will also be white-label, with the small providers responsible for billing their customers. "ISPs will only need to worry about selling," Nazareth emphasized. He believes this ease of operation will provide peace of mind for ISPs and is a significant strategic bet for Algar's growth from July onwards. While initially focusing on ISPs, Algar aims to attract clients from other sectors, such as sports clubs and other brands interested in launching their own MVNOs. https://lnkd.in/gHvjNkex
