virtual network operations by providing a full end-to end, carrier grade customer care &
billing platform that supports multiple operators on a single platform. The MTS MVNO
solution offers operators a quick time to market, flexible personalization, and seamless
integration into their existing operations. The solution supports various lines of
business and services including wireless, wireline, VoIP, IPTV, gaming, content, and more.
