#5G is a disruptive driver that will be at the center of innovation and economic and social development of countries over the next decade. Last week, head of Ericsson Portugal, Juan Olivera Urquijo, attended the 33rd national APDC Congress in Portugal. In his keynote, he called on national and European political and business decision-makers to: 💡 Address the delay in the rollout of 5G in Portugal and Europe compared to other regions; 💡 Industrialize through a strong commitment to technology and innovation; 💡 Increase technology penetration in the 27 EU states; 💡 Change existing regulatory positions in light of a too fragmented market. Also, in an article published in Jornal de Negócios (content in Portuguese), Juan Olivera reinforces Ericsson's position on these issues and calls on Europe to take measures to avoid becoming irrelevant in the current context. https://lnkd.in/eYMDhHWT

Vero expands MVNO and offers Wi-Fi 6 to all fixed broadband customers   Vero Internet and Americanet, who concluded their merger to become Brazil’s largest broadband internet service provider in December last year, has presented its new portfolio of products and services this Monday.   Among the highlights is the offer of Wi-Fi 6 for all fixed broadband plans, in addition to a partnership with Google offering combos with Youtube Premium and Music. The company will also offer other streaming services on its menu: Max, Globoplay, Telecine and Paramount, in addition to Roku services and mesh technology. In practice, the customer can assemble the combo they want or choose one of the off-the-shelf options. For mobile telephony service, in addition to the areas where Americanet operated as an mobile virtual network operator (#MVNO), Vero is gradually starting to offer #postpaid plans to the entire customer base in all cities where it operates. Mobile telephony will be offered to the company's entire base in the next three months. In the case of the B2C segment, the offer will be 4G. The MVNO is available in Americanet's areas of operation – São Paulo and Central-West – totaling 220 cities. Little by little, the company will expand to the cities where it operates – Minas Gerais and the South – and by the end of the year the virtual mobile network operator will be available in 425 cities. The company recently launched the mobile service in Florianópolis as a test, in a soft launch. “So far, the results are satisfactory” said Fabiano Ferreira, CEO of Vero. At the moment, Vero prioritizes #crossselling in its base. In other words, offering mobile phone plans to its fixed broadband customers. Vero also intends to maintain the partnership with TIM, however, it does not rule out having more than one MVNO operation with other players in the market. The expansion of the MVNO, the new fixed broadband plans with streaming and value-added services and Wi-Fi 6 are part of the strategy to reduce #churn, build #customerloyalty and attract new ones to Vero's base. Currently, the company has a churn rate of 1.8. In the medium and long term, it intends to reduce it to something between 1.3 and 1.5. The goal is to increase sales by up to 20%, both in volume and average ticket. And, by 2030, position itself as a company that offers a full range of solutions – from financial products, IT products for companies, to connected homes. https://lnkd.in/ghGwbVAA

Exciting times ahead for OpenRAN and the future of mobile networks! The collaboration among industry giants like Meta, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, and others on the Evenstar project (https://lnkd.in/gr8Qm3dq) is truly commendable. The move towards an open-source disaggregated RAN solution has the potential to revolutionize the telecommunications landscape, making connectivity more accessible and affordable for all. I couldn't agree more that initiatives like Evenstar are essential for bridging the digital divide and ensuring that everyone, especially in developing and emerging economies, has access to high-quality connectivity and services. While it might challenge traditional vendors initially, embracing open hardware platforms is crucial for driving innovation, reducing costs, and maximizing supply chain efficiency. It's heartening to see operators rallying behind this initiative, recognizing the long-term benefits it holds for the industry and society as a whole. The future of telecommunications should be inclusive and accessible to all, and projects like Evenstar pave the way for that vision to become a reality.

CXTech Week 23 2024 News and Analysis https://lnkd.in/e8qSRdrY Covered this week: * LINK Mobility acquires the Portuguese company EZ4U and expands its presence in Europe * Podcast 72: TADSummit Innovators, Fabrizio Salanitri, HORISEN * TADSummit Podcast directory * People, Gossip, and Frivolous Stuff Lots of discussion on the Horisen interview: 1) A carrier knows the top 10/20/30 brands sending A2P SMS over its network (many carriers have already done direct deals with Meta and Google) as discussed on Unifonic Podcast Episode 5; 2) A critical point is carriers MUST take more interest and control over a critical service for its customers. The issue is not, 'it's only 4% of revenue.' The issue is, its 20% of the value customers perceive they receive from a telco, and the experience is getting worse. 3) The risk is SMS becoming the messaging channel of last resort because of price and poor customer experience. 4) Some in the SMS ecosystem have become hooked on AIT, spam, and fraud. MEF continues to ignore our work, which demonstrates they are complicit, despite Johnny's love for them. 5) A carrier can have a 'democracy' (better control through caring about customer experience and not handing everything over to a monopoly) with 5-10 aggregators with the sanction of ‘pump sh!t at our customers/network and you're closed off for good.’ 6) The end customer is critical in all this, it’s about delivering a safe and secure communications experience. The messaging industry has lost sight of that critical base requirement. 7) Analytics and collaboration are critical to make SMS better. Horisen does not make money on the traffic, that was sold off to Link Mobility. Because they own their platform, they are best positioned to generate the best analytics. 8) Horisen is not a complete answer, they are part of a solution that can make SMS better, and takes us in a direction away from AIT, spam and fraud.

We call on Ministers to take further concrete steps in order to ensure that the European Council conclusions of 18 April 2024 turn into swift and concrete policy action. Heads of State and Government explicitly called for “supporting the digital transformation of business, government and society, which requires a true Single Market in digital services and data, encouraging and facilitating investment in digital infrastructure like 5G and 6G”.

The entry of ISPs into mobile telephony creates new models for MVNO The adoption of the mobile telephone service by Internet Service Providers (#ISP) is also beginning to attract a much wider range of interested parties in Brazil, and along with the growth, new business models are also emerging that aim to attract providers more quickly. This was part of the discussion at the Abrint Congress, a event for ISP's in LATAM held yesterday in Brazil: https://lnkd.in/gdD9XH4z Tip Brazil, is one of the companies that decided to develop a new network and #monetization model to massify the mobile virtual network operators (#MVNO) among ISPs. Currently, the company uses the network infrastructure of several MNOs, including TIM, Datora, and more recently incorporated also the Vivo network. According to Carlos Ratts, head of MVNO and streaming at the company, the chips that sell white label to ISPs, in the 4G LTE technology league, can access the signal of their own #privatenetwork, which allows the provider to offer its customer mobility of up to 14 kilometers outside its original base. For Daniel Fuchs, director of Innovation at the #MVNE Datora, ISPs are beginning to turn more interested to the mobile phone segment, even as a reaction to 5G, in defense of their market. He sees great potential in FWA – a fixed service based on #5G – to be used in large cities, to serve condominiums. "FWA can solve the problem of the last meter, and not the last mile", he envisions. Ligga, which announced at Abrint their new way of exploiting the 5G frequency that it purchased at the Anatel auction, created, together with its partner, a much more complex model, with several alternatives, but which, in the end, means new models for the MVNO. According to Marcelo Siena, head of ISP Telecom, Ligga's partner in the venture , this company was created to not only act as an #MVNA but also as an authorized MVNO (which has more obligations with Anatel), responsible for the interface with the ISP , which will be the accredited MVNO. ¨We can offer more aggressive prices because we eliminate the top layer. Furthermore, we will use the provider's infrastructure to flow traffic locally, which will be cheaper and faster¨, says Siena. According to him, with this variety of options, the company plans that in 4 years, its mobile ISP customers will already have around 3 million users in their portfolios. https://lnkd.in/gTsAwPZc
