Don't miss our Professional Services Director, Ross Devereux, speaking on the Connected Infrastructure panel.

Date: 10 September
Time: 12:40
Topics:

• Shifting regulatory dynamics for MVNOs
• Integrating mobile offerings to increase customer lifetime value
• Technical and operational benchmarks for MVNOs

If you're in the MVNO space, or thinking about entering it, this is a session worth attending.

Why the UK MVNO Market Matters Right Now

The UK MVNO market is evolving rapidly. New entrants are launching at record speed, regulatory changes are creating new opportunities, and brands outside traditional telecoms – from retail to financial services – are exploring mobile propositions to deepen customer relationships.

At the same time, operators are under pressure to modernise legacy BSS environments without disrupting live services . This is where cloud‑native, event‑driven architectures and AI‑native platforms are making a real difference.

Our work with SMARTY, Coop Mobile, and Plusnet demonstrates what's possible when trusted brands partner with the right technology provider.
