MiNO Wireless is offering a white-label managed service for operators to recoup lost revenues. Blueslice’s next-generation home location register is expected to enable MiNO to develop enhanced services to create and deploy customized differentiated services.
These services include a low-cost roaming solution in which a subscriber can have multiple virtual phone numbers and identities in different networks.
Douglas Cheline, vice president of engineering and operations for MiNO Wireless, said: After careful consideration of competing platforms, we selected Blueslice’s next generation HLR to be the foundation of our managed service. The ability to map multiple GSM and VoIP identities to a single user profile enables us to offer a unique service to our customer operators.
Even mobile operators who generate significant revenue from roaming are actually losing up to four times as much when traveling subscribers turn off their phones or replace their SIM cards with one from a local operator. It’s a missed opportunity worth millions in incremental revenue.
MiNO provides a managed white-label service that allows mobile operators to capture this lost revenue by offering an alternative roaming solution to their subscribers. Through a seamless wireless network provided by MiNO’s international mobile partnerships, budget-conscious subscribers can have a local number that provides mobile voice, text and data coverage while remaining connected to their home phone numbers. With MiNO, user can offer traveling subscribers and a superior user experience at verious rates.
MiNO can also bring mobile traffic to network operators from users traveling around the globe. Mobile operators who join MiNO’s global mobile partnership receive new traffic from travelers that currently use competing prepaid SIM cards or other alternatives from traditional roaming while in the operator’s country.
