Telecom software provider Mobilise has launched Mobilise Platforms & Investments, a new division created to help specialist telecom technology businesses scale by combining strategic investment, telecom expertise and shared technology.
The division will focus on businesses operating across business support systems (BSS), operations support systems (OSS), mobile virtual network enabler and aggregator (MVNE/MVNA) infrastructure, eSIM, connectivity and adjacent control-plane systems such as roaming, interconnect and numbering. The telecom software market is highly fragmented. Despite the top three global vendors — Amdocs, Ericsson and Nokia — accounting for “an estimated 38 to 42 per cent of global OSS/BSS revenues” , the remaining 60 per cent of a market valued at more than $70 billion is served by hundreds of smaller, often founder-led businesses with limited access to scale capital.
Many BSS and OSS assets are founder-led and capital-constrained, with no clear succession or scale path. They are often deeply embedded in operator workflows but under-resourced for next-generation deployment, and can be operationally complex for generalist investors to assess, given the regulatory, integration and service-level demands specific to telecoms.
