Mobile Virtual Network Enabler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (or MVNE) provides services to MVNOs, such as billing, and back end network elements.
A MVNE does not have a relationship with end-user customers. Instead, a MVNE provides infrastructure and services to enable 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 to MVNEs(at least in theory). They also have shared risk-reward arrangements with the MVNO with various kinds of revenue sharing model, usually tied to the number of subscribers that the MVNO has projected in their business plan.
From a systems standpoint, architecting MVNEs is a complex process involving the ability to take COTS (Commercial off-the-shelf) applications and converting them to work in a multi-tenancy model in a seamless fashion.
