Modern MVNOs no longer differentiate on network access alone. While coverage, wholesale rates, and launch speed remain important, long-term success increasingly depends on how well the business understands and serves its customers. This article explains why CRM has become the structural backbone of modern MVNOs, sitting at the centre of increasingly complex OSS, BSS, billing, logistics, and support stacks. Rather than replacing these systems, CRM connects them—turning fragmented operations into coordinated customer journeys and enabling MVNOs to compete on experience, not just connectivity.
The hidden complexity of IoT eSIM rollouts: what vendors don’t tell you
IoT eSIM rollouts based on the GSMA SGP.32 specification promise flexibility and vendor independence, but real-world deployments often reveal hidden technical and commercial constraints. Drawing on hands-on experience with large-scale implementations, this article unpacks the less-visible complexities of the IoT eSIM ecosystem, highlights common lock-in traps, and outlines the critical questions enterprises and MVNOs should ask vendors before committing to an SGP.32 deployment.
Why Connectivity Alone Isn’t Enough for IoT MVNOs
Connectivity is no longer the differentiator for IoT MVNOs. As IoT projects scale, customers expect end-to-end solutions that span devices, platforms, data, and operations. This article explains why successful IoT MVNOs are evolving beyond SIMs and coverage to become solution orchestrators focused on long-term customer outcomes.
Brazil IoT Market: The Reality 2025
Brazil’s IoT/M2M market continues to grow rapidly in 2025, driven by MVNO expansion and regulatory change. While legal uncertainty and evolving wholesale rules create friction, they also reward operators that understand the local landscape, adapt early, and treat machine connectivity as core economic infrastructure rather than a technical add-on.
MVNO Trends in 2025 and what 2026 is quietly forcing everyone to confront
