The challenge

Running a network is a full-time business of its own

  • Years to build, not months

    A carrier-grade core takes enormous time, capital and specialist expertise most teams simply don't have on hand.

  • Capex you can't justify

    Hardware, licensing, data centers and headcount stack up fast — long before you've served a single subscriber.

  • Talent that's hard to find

    Telecom engineers are scarce. Building and keeping an in-house team pulls focus from your actual product.

  • Global complexity, local rules

    Roaming, regulation and interconnect vary by market — and they never stop changing.

The answer

We handle the network.
You own the customer.

We build and run a dedicated core network shaped around your business — not a shared pool, not a white-label afterthought. Your subscribers, your data, your brand.

You bring the vision, distribution and market knowledge. We bring everything underneath: core infrastructure, BSS/OSS, 24/7 operations, global roaming and continuous upgrades.

No capex. No engineers to hire. No network headaches — just a predictable cost that tracks your growth.

Let's talk
How it works

From idea to live network — in weeks, not years

We own the entire telecom stack. You stay focused on your product.

01 — Design & scope

Architecture, mapped to your business

We start with your use case, target markets and subscriber forecasts, then design a core that fits — coverage, capacity, voice, data and policy, costed before a single component is provisioned.

02 — Build & provision

A dedicated core, deployed for you

Cloud-native 4G/5G core, IMS voice & SMS, BSS and OSS — provisioned in our infrastructure and validated end-to-end against your launch plan.

Go live on your own timeline

Integrate with our APIs, provision eSIMs over the air and onboard your first subscribers. Scale market by market, at the pace you choose.

04 — Operate & grow

We keep it running. You keep growing.

Our 24/7 NOC monitors everything with AI-assisted anomaly detection. Upgrades, scaling, roaming deals and compliance are handled continuously — invisibly.

Use cases

Built for businesses that move people and things

Any enterprise that benefits from a dedicated mobile network — without building one.

Travel eSIM

Launch a branded global eSIM for travelers — instant connectivity in 130+ countries, seamless device switching, zero checkout friction.

Global coverage

Local MVNO

Stand up a full mobile virtual operator in the UK, France, US or any target market — voice, SMS, data and local number portability.

Voice · SMS · Data

IoT & connected devices

Purpose-built connectivity for fleets. Control QoS, data policy and billing per device — at scale, across borders, no roaming surprises.

Fleet management

Automotive & telematics

Always-on vehicle connectivity with private APNs, low-latency data paths and the policy controls connected-car platforms demand.

Low latency · Private APN

Embedded connectivity

Apps and platforms that need connectivity as a feature — white-labeled, API-driven and invisible to the end user.

API-first · White label
What we run

Everything below your app — fully managed

You never have to think about any of this. That's the entire point.

4G/5G core network

EPC and 5G SA-ready architecture with active-active geo-redundancy.

IMS voice & SMS

VoLTE, SMS, emergency services (E911/E112) and CAMEL for legacy roaming.

eSIM (SM-DP+)

GSMA-compliant eSIM provisioning with OTA management and quick device transfer.

Global roaming

SS7, Diameter and GTP interconnects with wholesale billing across 130+ countries.

BSS / billing

Real-time prepaid & postpaid charging, CRM, self-service portal and fraud detection.

Policy & QoS

Per-subscriber traffic shaping, data pooling and network acceleration.

24/7 NOC

AI/ML anomaly detection, proactive alerts and first-response troubleshooting.

Compliance & legal

Lawful interception, metadata retention, PSAP integration and data residency.

Global infrastructure

One core. Global infrastructure.

Your dedicated core runs on infrastructure deployed across regions and wired into the world's carriers — so wherever you launch, the plumbing is already there.

Regional breakout

PGWs distributed across every region, so traffic breaks out close to the user instead of being hauled across the planet.

Multi-IMSI

Mix and match network identities on the fly — your devices always ride the strongest local network, anywhere they land.

Sub-80ms latency

Under 80ms median round-trip in-region — quick enough for voice, video and real-time control.

FAQ

Questions, answered

You get a dedicated core network — not a shared pool or a reseller arrangement. Your subscribers, your data and your brand live on infrastructure provisioned specifically for you. We operate it; you own the relationship.

Most use cases go from design to a live network in a matter of weeks rather than the 18–36 months a from-scratch build typically demands. Timeline depends on your markets, roaming requirements and regulatory approvals — we map the critical path during scoping.

A single, all-inclusive operational fee per active subscriber, measured quarterly. There's no upfront capex and no hidden line items. eSIM profile downloads are billed separately as discrete events so your core subscriber costs stay predictable. Use the calculator above for an illustrative comparison.

4G EPC and 5G SA core, IMS voice & SMS (VoLTE), GSMA-compliant eSIM (SM-DP+), global roaming over SS7/Diameter/GTP, full BSS/OSS, policy & QoS control, and lawful-interception and compliance tooling. If it sits below your app, we run it.

Yes. We offer an exit-flexibility model: when the time is right, you can carve out your own network slice and self-manage. Terms are tailored to your requirements — you're never locked in.

Lawful interception, metadata retention, emergency services (E911/E112) and PSAP integration, and data-residency support come built in. We track regulatory requirements market by market so you don't have to.
