Virtuser mobile Core & Consulting Services
About Us
We have been the trusted advisor and supplier of mobile (cellular) and related technology services for new, innovative and “difficult stuff” in mobile since 2001: MVNOs, IoT, FMC, and now Asset Tracking and Private 5G.
The name Virtuser comes from Virt(ual) User (of technology). Way back when we working on the first MVNOs, VISP, and shared servers to enable what we now know as cloud we realised that businesses and consumers alike want to use technology but not necessarily own it, or at least the need to select, run and maintain it: We are so cloud and virtual we named ourselves after it’s starting point: a virtuser!
Overview
We are a London-based mobile (cellular) core & VAS services and professional services business consultancy firm since 2003
We have done IoT since it was called M2M and used SMS to send tachograph and other vehicle and driver related “data”.
We have worked on key MVNOs since the very first ones, and all the ones we launched are still in business, many decades later.
We started doing FMC and won a DTI innovation award for testing the first mobile calls over bluetooth in wifi TWO DECADES ago!
We are now pushing the envelope again with DSIT and major IT and mobile companies in Private 5G and CBRS.
We are also pushing the boundaries of sustainability, using renewable energy where we can and making mobile services more power efficient.
Our Story
We are proud to be renewable, sustainable where possible
We have reduced the power footprint of all the systems we use and deploy for IoT, Asset Tracking, Core Mobile and Private Wireless Services and the complete ORAN core we can run on renewable and sustainable energy for customers and most of our own services.

Careers
Our Key Strengths
This is a big statement, but a true one, and after two decades of asking why that is we always get the same answer from ourselves and our customers: Experience; we know and cover every aspect of the MVNO, from core and SIMs, to Agreements and processes, to managing Change, growth, user experience, marketing, all the way to expansion, sale, purchase, exit. Expand to IoT, new verticals, new markets, migrations... we have done them all and rolled up our sleeves to all aspects of the MVNO.
We roll up our sleeves and do tech, we don't just talk about industry buzz - we are usually driving innovation before it becomes industry buzz - if you want first hand experience and expertise from doing; then you want to talk to Virtuser.
We have been doing this for over two decades, in which time we have chaired or presented at all the key conferences, launched many of the key winners, walked away from the losers, started the first blogs, written the first analyst reports and more...
Every MVNO We launched is still an MVNO
This is a big statement, but a true one, and after two decades of asking why that is we always get the same answer from ourselves and our customers: Experience; we know and cover every aspect of the MVNO, from core and SIMs, to Agreements and processes, to managing Change, growth, user experience, marketing, all the way to expansion, sale, purchase, exit. Expand to IoT, new verticals, new markets, migrations… we have done them all and rolled up our sleeves to all aspects of the MVNO.
We stay ahead of the game
We were the first to do light and full MVNOs, then Hybrid, then the first to do cloud and now we are the first to take the next steps beyond cloud MVNO.
The same in IoT: we were first to cloud, we did M2M via SMS before most before that and now we have taken the next steps to distributed IoT.
A focus on YOUR needs, not what we sell
We have done it all in the last two decades: the first Apps before app stores (j2me apps for Nokia), android apps, iPhone app, widgets, web apps; MVNOS; turnkey MNOs, Full Ericsson, Nokia, etc Cores; smaller provider Cores; the first Cloud MVNEs, the fist cloud MVNOs, the first SIP in MVNOs; FMC with major suppliers, IMS & VoLTE with major suppliers, with open source; Private 5G and CBRS as well, oh and we are working on the next generation of eSIMs with major vendors and the GSMA, as yes, you got it – we work across all suppliers and more devices from IoT to devices that anybody… and so on short: We are here to provide you a solution that works for you. Most, sadly, are trying to sell what they did last, as that is all they know, or worse; what gives them the highest commission… what works for you?
An opportunity for impact: make that change
We do everything from hard tech to clever marketing, sales acceleration and purchase and sale of acquisitions to the customer journeys and processes that make these all possible in the background… and the change management that goes with this. There are many who know their part of the puzzle, but change requires all the parts of the puzzle – ask yourself; do you want a solution or an integration?
A truly global perspective: digital transformation
We have worked, lived and launched big and small, innovative and old, migrated, sold, acquired, advised across the globe. We have taken all the ethnic operators into new markets and done the first migrations from one MNO to another, from light to full, full to full and more. We now help MNOs, MVNOs, IoT providers and Small Cell providers be more global with international roaming and travel SIMs and multi IMSI core and SIM / eSIM enablement: You cannot enable digital transofrmation if you have not digitally transformed the way you work and your systems…
