“…Many services can be offered like: Remote management, Security & Surveillance, Fleet Management, e-Health Applications, Sales & Payment, Home Applications. For instance, MVNOs could provide interesting solutions to the automotive industry which has the following limitations and requirements [10]: Higher traffic control: to address different service requirements and have more network control; Best possible coverage: for the best user experience and higher service reliability; SIM cards independent from MNO; Standardized interconnect to MNOs: to manage multiple MNOs procedures and reduce the operating complexity; Control/Elimination of roaming fees: to equalize the user service experience in all the countries, independent of where the car is manufactured, where it is sold, and where it is driven. These different problems can be mitigated by MVNOs and can extend their market to the automotive sector [5], [8]- [10].…”

Abstract-Recently, mobile network operators (MNOs) around the world are migrating their networks to the fourth generation (4G) long-term evolution (LTE) standard. Mobile virtual network operator (MVNOs), who do not have their own wireless access network and still offer added value services, are affected with this migration. Most of the research conducted about network migration toward the 4G focused on challenges in the architecture level and the business model. Also, research addressed the compatibility of core networks with 4G, and the interfaces and protocols that must be implemented by the MVNO to continue offering its services. This paper proposes different approach by focusing on the prospects of services. Typically, the service cost should decline with the arrival of the new 4G network. We suggest some strategies that could be adopted by MVNOs to offer more competitive services and contribute in reducing the costs of communication of customers.Keywords-Mobile virtual network operator (MVNOs), fourth generation (4G) Migration, and long-term evolution (LTE).
