Sprint equips businesses large and small with best-in-class equipment
and support to deliver their own wireless service
Sprint
(NYSE:S) Global Wholesale & Emerging Solutions today introduces a new
packaged solution of turnkey wireless solutions and support enabling any
business to become a wireless provider - and ride the revenue stream it
creates.
The new package, Single Source Enablement, rounds out a portfolio of
enablement services from Sprint that lets anyone from entrepreneurs to
enterprises deliver their own branded wireless service with as much or
as little investment as they prefer. With the Sprint
Wireless Enablement Solutions, businesses access Sprint's products,
receive help enabling the service and get ongoing support to become a
winning wireless Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO).
Single Source Enablement can cover all systems, processes, customer
care, online Web enablement, and the warehousing and distribution of
devices so an MVNO can focus almost solely on acquiring customers. The
model can be customized to meet each MVNO's unique business needs.
Specialized customer loyalty programs and other value-added products can
be supported under this model.
"Sprint Wholesale & Emerging Solutions provides award-winning account
and operational support, not to mention all-new, nationwide 3G and 4G
LTE networks that will position our customers to deliver better overall
performance today and into the future," said Matt Carter, president,
Global Wholesale & Emerging Solutions. "Sprint goes above and beyond our
competitors to ensure each customer's success, as we employ a hands-on
and collaborative approach to help each MVNO venture thrive."
With the addition of Single Source Enablement, Sprint has developed
three different Wireless Enablement Solutions to meet the varying needs
of its wholesale MVNO customers. Sprint's product offering and
implementation support allows each MVNO the freedom to focus on growing
their business in a meaningful way.
Sprint has other Wireless Enablement packages for MVNOs that crave more
control, including:
Standard Enablement Model
MVNOs seeking the maximum amount
of control over operations, care, support and logistics should look no
further than the Traditional Enablement Model. The MVNO uses in-house
resources or outsources to third parties for specific business
functions. Complexity and cost are higher in this model, but MVNOs have
maximum control.
Joint Enablement Model
Sprint simplifies and manages many of
the complex rating and invoicing systems and processes required for
wireless operations. Other business functions, such as customer care and
the warehousing and distribution of devices, are still managed by the
MVNO.
With a dedicated marketing team to build and maintain a customized
marketing plan, Sprint parlays years of wireless experience into the
success of each MVNO. The team is assembled of strategic support experts
who can help MVNOs acquire, mature and retain customers, while ensuring
that each MVNO receives expert consultation on business fundamentals,
devices, wireless industry trends, channel management, and competitive
intelligence. Sprint's world-class expertise ensures smooth, 24x7
operations for MVNOs.
Sprint Wholesale delivers an integrated, innovative, customizable suite
of value-added solutions to drive customer revenue, profit and
subscriber growth. Visit the newly redesigned www.sprint.com/wholesale
