MVNX

MVNX, the MVNE division of Ignition Group, provides the full technology and operational foundation for brands and corporates launching mobile services in South Africa.

With demand for branded connectivity continuing to rise, MVNX has built a strong market position through its multi-tenant MVNE platform, supporting a diverse and growing portfolio of MVNO partners.

Customer Interview

Having initially deployed Cerillion’s Convergent Charging System and Enterprise Product Catalogue modules in 2020 to overhaul its prepaid operations, MVNX now supports more than 14 MVNOs and has expanded the platform to include the CRM Plus, Revenue Manager and Service Manager modules. This upgrade has created a single, unified BSS/OSS environment for both prepaid and postpaid services, enabling faster onboarding, streamlined operations and sustainable growth across multiple host networks.

Cerillion gives us Tier 1 technology that allows us to compete head-to-head with the most innovative of mobile network operators, so we can carve out market share with MVNO brands that are not necessarily experienced in mobile or fixed communications.

The Challenges

MVNX needed to evolve its MVNE platform to keep pace with rapid market growth and rising partner expectations. 

Key requirements included:

• Supporting multi-tenant operations across an expanding base of MVNO customers
• Enabling rapid onboarding for new partners through open integrations and self-service capabilities
• Delivering a single, convergent platform for both prepaid and postpaid services
• Providing a flexible product catalogue for fast creation and launch of new tariffs, bundles and digital offerings
• Operating across multiple host networks to offer MVNOs more choice and wider reach
• Simplifying and modernising legacy systems while maintaining service continuity for existing MVNOs
• Establishing a future-proof foundation as MVNX scales further into South Africa and the wider African region

The Solution

Working in close collaboration with MVNX, Cerillion delivered a unified, standards-based BSS/OSS platform designed to support MVNX’s multi-tenant, multi-network MVNE operations.

The solution comprises:

• A high-performance, 3GPP-compliant Convergent Charging System with native Diameter support and real-time control for all prepaid services
• Enterprise Product Catalogue as a centralised platform for MVNX and its partners to design and manage offers with consistent logic and rapid configuration
• CRM Plus, Revenue Manager and Service Manager to form a complete digital BSS/OSS solution for both prepaid and postpaid customers
• Open APIs allowing MVNO partners to connect their own digital channels and front-end systems
• Multi-network support for both Cell C and MTN host networks, providing flexibility and broader market access for MVNO brands
• A unified data layer that consolidates customer, product and revenue information to simplify operations and improve visibility

This standards-based architecture gives MVNX strong operational efficiency, consistent partner experiences and a scalable foundation for its growing MVNO portfolio.
