The Market

MVNOs and MNOs

3

Issues of the current Market:

o Voice, Messaging and Internet Access Revenues are

already – or close to – terminal decline.

o Legacy systems lagging behind the trail of

development.

o Profit generation is dramatically slowing down

since SDN and NFV systems solutions are not yet

complete.

o High cost for legacy network and systems.

o Core issues shaping the MVNO’s market:

o MVNOs need to find the way to differentiate

with other aspects than only pricing.

o They have to stay competitive and no to get

squeezed between wholesale and retail

pricing.

o Based on the growing collaboration between

MVNO’s and MNO’s, the MVNO market has to deal

with the same issues as the current MNO market.

How do MNO’s need to change their business

models?

By cost optimization

By moving towards software services (OTT)

By consolidating by excess competition

By restructuring business in a way their new

products are not regulated

MVNO’s to stay ahead of the game

4

MVNO’s will need to stay ahead

By realizing that “light systems” will not and

cannot bring them the possibilities and solutions

they need in order to move forward successfully.

Base their business on API’s in order to integrate

fast and cheap solution within multiple systems.

Pursue NFC and integrate wallets innovatively

for short and long term growth.

Elephant Talk offers its help…

With full SDN and NFV system we started to

build 12 years ago.

With expert knowledge on API’s and API

integrated systems.

Innovative full solution and extensive product

Catalog for the MVNO’s.

Software-defined Networking (SDN) & Network

Functions Virtualization (NFV) essentials:

Going from 2-dimensional legacy systems to 3-

dimensional systems,

Deeply integrated modules,

Addressing the need of greater service diversity

and integration with external new markets (API

based).

Transformation towards SDN & NFV:

Development

Testing

Difference

SDN & NFV Essentials

5

SDN & NFV benefits:

SDN will transform networks:

programmable (i.e. flexible) platforms that

enable more efficient resource utilization,

cost effective,

Scalable to meet the demands of the ever

grow community of mobile users.

The basic answer to ‘why NFV’ is simple:

To reduce network operator CAPEX and

OPEX through reduced equipment costs,

Reduced power consumption,

The bigger answer is to reduce complexity

and make managing a network and

deploying new capabilities easier and faster.

Virtualized ET Software DNA® 2.0

Platform Platform

Moving from one-site to client based and/or

cloud based:

• One point of Service Provisioning

• OSS as a top layer over hetrogeneous

systems

• High Level API framework required:

e.g. “register & activate subscriber”

• One point of Service Control

• Consolidated information across

components: Network Monitoring,

Subscriber usage history

• Virtualization, Core Networks

• VMWare for network elements and

hardware

• SDN/NFV for network elements

configuration

• Need for Virtualization, Northbound APIs

• Drive network resources from

Service / Application

• Dynamic GGSN assignation by DNS

• Simplified redundancy and failover concepts6
