The Challenge: Why Launching an MVNO is So Hard (Without the Right Partner)
For consumer device OEMs, IoT startups, and hardware brands, the path to becoming an MVNO has traditionally been littered with obstacles that stifle innovation and drain resources.
While your team is savvy in product design and understands connectivity dynamics, you likely lack the deep telecom stack experience required to navigate the industry’s complexities.
These challenges often prevent brands from realizing the full potential of their connected devices.
Common pain points include:

- Complex Negotiations: Securing favorable terms with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) can be a long and arduous process, often requiring multi-million dollar contracts just to get started.
- High Capital Expenditures: The investment in engineering capex, infrastructure, and technology can be a significant and often unjustifiable barrier to entry.
- Regulatory Nightmares: Navigating the complex web of telecom and privacy regulations—like KYC, reseller rights, SOC-2, and tax obligations—is a full-time job in itself.
- Business Stagnation: For many device vendors, reliance on single-operator solutions can lead to low customer satisfaction, high churn, and shrinking profit margins. Want to calculate the true cost of launching your own connectivity offering? Use our MVNO Calculator to get started.
These roadblocks don’t just slow progress—they limit scalability, increase risk, and drain resources. That’s where Spenza comes in.
The Solution: The Spenza No-Code MVNO Platform
Spenza’s “Connectivity as a Service” platform is the game-changer for any company looking to launch a branded mobile service.
Our no-code MVNO platform abstracts away the complexities of the telecom industry, empowering you to launch faster, profit sooner, and scale with ease.
We provide an integrated, turnkey solution that is managed by non-engineering or light-engineering teams, allowing you to bypass building a costly in-house telecom stack.
Breaking the Barriers to Connectivity
Spenza eliminates the friction of traditional telecom models. Here’s how we compare:
Challenge | Traditional Approach | The Spenza Solution |
---|---|---|
Time to Market | 12–18 months of negotiations, development, and integration | Launch in under 7 days with our no-code platform and out-of-the-box Shopify integration. |
Upfront Costs | High capital expenditure on infrastructure, engineering, and contracts | Cut fixed costs by up to 50% with a scalable, variable-cost model. |
Operational Complexity | Juggling MNO deals, billing systems, and fragmented support channels | A single pane of glass to manage connectivity, spend, billing, and support. |
Global Expansion | Separate legal entities, contracts, and compliance hurdles per country | Add new countries, operators, and plans in days—not months—with built-in compliance. |
Tax & Compliance | Navigating KYC, reseller rights, SOC-2, and local telecom regulations independently – No support | Fully integrated tax handling, KYC, and compliance—no extra lift required. |
