Thanks to a pre-integrated set of platforms and to an existing
operations set-up through Alcatel-Lucent’s Global Network
Operations Centers, the MVNOs can benefit from
an anticipated gain of six months to enter the market,
compared to an in-house solution.
• Service Network platform, provided by Alcatel-Lucent,
encompasses all necessary network infrastructure modules
to provide Telecom services. It relies on an IP-based Next
Generation Network architecture providing extended
flexibility and evolution capabilities (soft migration
to IMS, business extension to other countries….)

MVNE Solution accounts for everything that is required by
MVNOs to speed up their revenue generation, through
services diversification and international development
opportunities. This includes built-in multi-country capability,

The MVNE Managed Services model enables the MVNOs

is required by the MVNO. Furthermore, the Alcatel-Lucent
costs are streamlined thanks to pooled resources and sharing
between several operators.

Portability), USSD & SMS Call-back services, IVR system,

The components of the three MVNE platforms are pre-integrated

or MVNO target market segments (Fix Mobile convergence,
