In recent times, with the disruption seen from chat apps and other tech giants, it’s been suggested that Mobile Networks Operators (MNOs) are not the most innovative of companies. Having a history of working in MNOs and working with them, the team at ROCCO thinks differently.
For decades MNOs have been the ones working with or instructing the industry what is needed. They serve as a catalyst to change and often take the driving seat in standards innovation as well as developing solutions for themselves they just can’t find on the market.
Following on from ROCCO’s THE VENDOR INNOVATORS study where we ranked the top 50 most innovative vendors in our sector, it’s now time to recognise the MNO’s innovative solutions and the teams behind building them.
ROCCO IOO was all about recognising great people in our industry, recognising the people who make the Messaging, International Roaming, Interconnect & Fraud and Security world go round. It was greatly satisfying for us and brought us great insights.
This got us thinking … so if there are so many great people in our industry, it really must be bursting with new ideas and innovations. What about the innovative solutions that take place within MNOs? How do we find these unsung heroes? We want to recognise and celebrate them. And whilst we do that, reignite that spark our industry needs to put INNOVATION back on the centre stage.
