M1

MVNE / MVNO

M1, a subsidiary of Keppel Corporation, is Singapore’s first digital network operator. One of the first telcos in Singapore licensed to operate the country’s nationwide 5G standalone networks, they offer a suite of communications services, like mobile, landline / fixed line, and fibre connectivity, to over two million customers.

M1 first launched their commercial services in 1997. Since then, they’ve established themselves as one of the most important operators in the region. Not only have they led the way in 5G, but they were also the first operator in Singapore to offer nationwide 4G service, ultra-high-speed fixed broadband, fixed voice, and a host of other services on the Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (NGNBN).

As part of M1’s Wholesale Business, M1 facilitates local Singapore companies establishing their own mobile brands and/or Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) businesses on its award-winning Mobile Network via Pareteum’s scalable Digital MVNE solution.

M1 operates one of the most dynamic networks in the world. Indeed, in 2020, Opensignal’s Singapore Mobile Network Experience Report highlighted the fact that they maintain one of the lowest latencies globally. Moreover, the report awarded their network with an ‘Excellent’ score for Video Experience. M1 is the first (and only) operator in Singapore to have earned this mark.

As an MVNE, M1 makes it a priority to open their exceptional network to niche operators. To do this however, they needed a suitable platform with low barriers to entry that could be used to onboard and launch new mobile brands.

Pareteum’s MVNE solution was the perfect fit. It’s fully compliant with local regulations and flexible enough to accommodate the complex demands of telecom operators. What’s more, it’s a proven service. Dozens of telcos all over the globe currently use it to facilitate access to their networks, launch new mobile brands, and streamline mobile operations.

Time to Market

Southeast Asia has quickly become one of the hottest telecommunications markets in the world. M1 needed a service that could help them launch new brands as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Flexibility and Scalable

They also needed an MVNE solution that was flexible and scalable enough to help enable a new generation of mobile brands with an array of unique business models and requirements.

Future Proof

Finally, M1 needed a platform capable of helping them meet future challenges, like integrating new connectivity standards and accommodating use cases like the Internet of Things and Smart City.

With Pareteum, M1 is ready for the future. They’re able to support a wide range of MVNO businesses looking to deliver new and unique value propositions to the Singapore telecommunications market.

The platform is:

All of which provides M1’s MVNO partners the ability to dream up business models and use cases for success in their own areas of expertise.

Not only can they help existing companies leverage their brand recognition to promote new mobile offerings, but they can also help entrepreneurs and startups bring revolutionary services to market. With Pareteum, M1 gives MVNOs the freedom to realize their visions.

What’s more, over the next few months, M1 plans to expand their mobility services across the Asia-Pacific region. Pareteum’s MVNE solution will play a critical role in this initiative.
