TIP Brasil has 160 MVNOs in its portfolio and a strategy based on a board game Henrique Medeiros, from Mobile Time meet up with Carlos Eduardo Rattis, Head of MVNO at TIP Brasil, during the Abrint National Meeting event, to hear more about the company and its strategy. TIP was launched in 2010 by Alexandre Alves, as a fixed-line operator but has since then added a series of services such as virtual PBX, pay TV and it also launched a mobile virtual network operator (#MVNO). About a year ago, the company expanded its MVNO offer to internet providers (#ISP), with #5G network in white label mode, and the possibility of using an eSIM or physical SIM card, as well as access to Business Intelligence (BI) and analytics to ensure the formulation of customized plans for voice, SMS and data. Today, TIP Brasil has 160 virtual mobile operators in its portfolio. In addition, the company also has eight #privatenetworks that operate in the 700 MHz band, approved by the regulator Anatel, but only for data. The SIM cards works for private and public networks. The partners plugged in to offer public network to MVNOs are the MVNA/MVNE Surf Telecom and Americanet (TIM network) and as of this week Telecall (Vivo network). TIP's strategy for ISPs to advance in mobile services is based on the economics-themed board game “Monopoly”. Just like in the board game, the player buys land and grows his income with houses and hotels. In the telecom world, TIP recommends that the ISP move forward with the MVNO model instead of moving forward with more fiber optics (and the costs associated with it), in a neighborhood and compete for customers with another ISP or even with large operators. “The ISP explored the interior of Brazil with Fixed Internet and now it’s starting to grow with the mobile network,” Rattis told Mobile Time. According to company data, average revenue per user (#ARPU) jumps from R$68 with fixed broadband to R$120 with mobile (on an account with three SIM cards per household). If you add the fixed plus mobile combo, the ARPU value reaches R$240. “They triple your average ticket”, he adds. Rattis also states that, tripling the average ticket on the ISP base can help when a medium or large player comes to make a proposal, as its market value increases. https://lnkd.in/gRY8eWcN

Nokia and the agriculture MVNO Solis partner to support Agriculture 4.0 in Brazil Nokia has entered into a partnership with the Brazilian Mobile Virtual Network Operator (#MVNO) Solis Tower Telecom do Brasil, to offer a digital agriculture solution, bringing much-needed connectivity to agribusinesses in rural parts of Brazil. The partnership will see the expansion of #privatenetworks that will help to deliver gains in productivity, efficiency, and sustainability and ultimately an increase in food production. SOLIS is a private LTE 4G NB-IoT provider and an MVNO operator dedicated to Brazilian agribusinesses. They have the capacity to build infrastructure and meet the demands of a country as large as Brazil with the quality and reliability that new agricultural operations require. Its mission is to drive Agriculture 4.0 from a vertical supply chain in OPEX business models that includes "Infrastructure, Licensing and Connectivity with 24x7 Operation". Nokia has provided a range of equipment from its AirScale portfolio including small cells, baseband, Macro Remote Radio Heads and base stations. Nokia's solutions also support Internet of Things (IoT) technologies such as NB-IoT and LTE-M, enabling a host of machines, people and sensors to be connected seamlessly for providing detailed real-time information that supports agribusinesses. The partnership seeks to drive digital inclusion and bring reliable connectivity to many farming communities in rural or plantation areas. Many rural parts of Brazil are still unconnected and only 19% of the land available for #agricultural use in Brazil has 4G or 5G coverage. Henrique Carneiro Gonçalves, Director of Vera Cruz do Xingu farm, said: "The introduction of a private LTE network has transformed our operations. Now we can communicate easily with everyone on the farm solving issues and driving greater synergies and productivity. IoT monitors give us instant access to information on things such as humidity, harvesting or fuel consumption helping us to be more efficient, save money and get better outcomes." Felippe Antonelle, Solis Co-Founder, said: "This important project will have a transformative impact on farming communities across Brazil giving them access to critical communications and internet access. It will drive greater efficiencies and increases in productivity. We are delighted to partner with Nokia on this and look forward to seeing how it will develop in the future." Renato Bueno, Enterprise Sales Director for Nokia Mobile Networks LATAM, said: "Bringing reliable connectivity and accelerating the digitalization of these rural communities is essential. Through our industry-leading technology, we help our customer Solis bridge the digital divide and connect the unconnected." https://lnkd.in/gt6ZbiuK

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗩𝗡𝗢𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲. 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗩𝗡𝗢𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁. The Chair of Thailand’s telecom regulator (#NBTC), Dr. Sarana Boonbaichaiyapruck, is pushing in full force for Thailand to have more mobile virtual network operators (#MVNO), to enable competition in the telecommunication market, so that the 65 million Thai consumers can have more options in using telecommunications services. Dr. Sarana Boonbaichaiyapruck, was speaking at the MVNOs World Congress 2024 in Brussels, Belgium on the topic “Consumers Options beyond SIMs and Numbers”, and said that #Thailand is welcoming - and are ready in terms of telecom, regulation and digital infrastructure to support business operations for all forms of MVNOs to do business in Thailand. The NBTC has announced a policy of "One Region, One MVNO", where they want to push for the creation of MVNO service providers in every region of Thailand. Meanwhile, the NBTC office has been working diligently to improve related regulations to be more conducive to MVNO business operations. “The rapid advancement of telecommunications technology, including 5G SA technology, eSIM/iSIM and Cloud Computing, are all good signs for MVNO, on the future of the telecommunications market. This will raise the level of access to telecommunication services in Thailand to be efficient, meet the needs of consumers and bring more competition into the Thai telecommunications market,” said the NBTC Chair. Attending the event is a great opportunity to exchange visions related to telecommunications governance and attracting more business operators to do business in Thailand, which judging from this meeting, there are many companies and entrepreneurs interested in Thailand, and some have already pledged to come and set up businesses and invest in Thailand soon, including a Mobile Virtual Network Aggregator/Enabler (#MVNA / #MVNE) and MVNOs businesses. Currently, Thailand has a very limited amount of MVNOs, but one of the upcoming MVNOs in Thailand (A Telecom), was also presenting at the #MVNOworldCongress, where Ativat Asvasirayothin, Founder and CEO of A Telecom shared his insights on the topic “From License to Launch: ‘A’ Telecom’s Path in Thailand’s MVNO Landscape. The NBTC Chair said that MVNOs will help promote important national strategies very well, including using MVNOs that are designed for special public health services, to promote Thailand as a hub for medical tourism, raising the level of Thai tourism by facilitating international mobile roaming, as well as the promotion of Data Centers in Thailand. https://lnkd.in/gT49fn8p
