Vodafone Malta Limited today announced it has signed an exclusive wholesale partnership deal with
ASPIDER Solutions to support the launch of multiple Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in Malta. MVNOs will be able to provide branded mobile services using Vodafone’s infrastructure and network capacity. Through this partnership, MVNOs will target specific markets in both pre-paid and post-paid segments. Commercial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
With this latest development Vodafone Malta is supporting the launch of MVNOs in Malta hence creating more competition in the market.
“We are delighted to announce ASPIDER Solutions as our wholesale partner, since the company is one of the most experienced MVNO enablers in the market. Through this partnership, Vodafone is once again leading innovation in the Maltese market.,” said Inaki Berroeta, CEO of Vodafone Malta. “We are confident that this new partnership with ASPIDER Solutions will enable us to remain the leading operator in Malta whilst ensuring that customers will benefit from increased choice of products and services.”
Following multiple successful MVNO launches in several countries over the past two years, ASPIDER Solutions continues to aggressively execute its strategy capitalising on high-growth opportunities in the international Mobile communications markets.
“This is another milestone for ASPIDER Solutions. With our unique service model and expertise in launching successful MVNO concepts, we are taking the next step in enabling MVNO’s”, said Luis Carrera, Managing Director of ASPIDER Solutions international.
Patrick Meyer, Vice President Business Development, acting as interim Managing Director ASPIDER Solutions Malta continued, “Combining the best national network with our international expertise in launching and running MVNOs will provide great opportunities for emerging mobile brands”.
Both parties expect the MVNO market in Malta to develop in much the same way as in other jurisdictions like Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, UK and Sweden.
