What is posh Mobile?Posh Mobile is an Android smartphonemanufacturer of gSM devices for the global openmarket. We are focused on feature-packedconsumer devices with superior out of boxexperience that meets the requirements of today’smobile consumer.
Why target MVnOs?We work with MVnOs and MnOs around the worldin order to sell directly to the distribution networkcoming closer to the consumer, and therebyreducing supply chain costs and reducing andeliminating unnecessary carrier subsidies.
How does partneringwith MVnO IndustrySummit Series supportposh Mobile’sdevelopment?In partnering with Informa across various globalmarkets, we’re able to interface with MVnOs andMnOs in order for them to understand the productwe manufacture, distribute and the value it meansfor their subscribers. this results in distributionagreements with the master dealers in eachrespective market.
We started with Informa in 2000, and have beenworking with the MVnO Industry Summit series for2 years now. Over this time we’ve seen increasedyear on year interest form the operatingcommunity as the proliferation of mobile datacontinues. consumers are becoming extremelydemanding of the devices available in each market.

What is gintel?We provide a comprehensive telephony and unifiedcommunication system to telecoms operators, sothat they can offer a complete SaaS solution as a‘one-stop
shop’ to SMEs. the range includes conferencing,hosted call centre, mobile twinning, geofencing,our virtual paBX and a host of other solutions.
Why target MVnOs?We provide a differentiator service which helpsMVnOs address market segments they typically donot address, for example SMEs and Sohos (Smalloffice/home office). We have a history of workingwith large MnOs and therefore know how tohandle the relationship with them. We have anumber of case studies of how we havesuccessfully helped new MVnOs navigate the telcospace with our flexible and customisable solutions.
How does partneringwith MVnO IndustrySummit Series supportgintel’s development?We measure the impact of events on the number ofleads we can generate and the number of newcontacts we make. the MVnO World congressevents we’ve attended have proved particularlyuseful for quality lead generation and forincreasing our number of relevant industrycontacts more widely. We will be in nice for theevent in 2015 and will be targeting one otherregional event also.
Every sales process inevitably involves a cost. theMVnOIS events, specifically, allow me to generatenew opportunities and travel further along thosesales processes in less time and for less investment.the size, the audience, and the focus of the MVnOevents have helped us to easily approach possiblecustomers and present to them our solutions.
What is peaches group?We specialise in cloud-based, prepaid services. Wefulfil the needs of our customers by directly loadinge-vouchers onto prepaid phones and show thecredit balance.
Peaches also have two patents in this space. theconsumer need is for prepaid, only to spend whenthe money is reaching a lower limit.
Why target MVnOs?First and foremost, it’s the usability of oursolution, considering complex fraud & riskmanagement systems. We help to manage thewhole service for MVnOs, from topping up tocustomer support, all in a co-branded service.
the main pain point for MVnOs is managing riskand fraud vulnerabilities in digital sales.
How does partneringwith MVnO IndustrySummit Series supportpeaches’ development?At the MVnO Industry Summit Series we meet theright people, whether they’re MnOs or MVnOs,suppliers or potential partners.
the events from our perspective are verysuccessful. After our speaking slot, we wereoverrun at the stand. All four of the team were verybusy and delegates were queuing to speak to us.
We’re having conversations with the likes of At&tand Sprint, and this is helping us to meet the rightpeople at the right place, at the right time.
