MVNO is an alternative to the corporate environment
“The MVNO can, with its technologies and offers, shape products and plans that are more adhering to the reality of companies and their employees”, says Marco Sandro, CEO of Supernova – accredited virtual cellular operator Vivo.
The executive explains that, despite the positive numbers, many still have doubts regarding MVNO and what are its main advantages in relation to other types of telephony.
“MVNO is not a technology, but a license granted by Anatel (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações) that allows companies to use the virtual network of an existing cellular operator (owner of the antennas) to exploit the SMP (Personal Mobile Service). For this, the company needs a license from Anatel to operate”, he explains.
In Brazil, Anatel has regulated the existence of two types of MVNOs: virtual network accredited and virtual network authorized. In March, the country had 122 accredited and 10 authorized MVNOs, according to Anatel.
