Is Monogoto an MVNO?

Hello,

Is Monogoto an MVNO?

mobile virtual network operator - a carrier that does not have their own wireless network but borrows the signal, coverage and network of a larger carrier.

If so, how does an MVNO check if a device is certified to be used with the wireless network (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile)?
If the MVNO does not check, how does the wireless network then know if the device is certified to be used with their network?

thank-you,
Simon

In a nutshell,

Monogoto has it own sim cards, and it’s own core.

When a device with Monogoto’s SIM card tries to access a network, the operator of the network sends a query to Monogoto’s core asking if this SIM ia allowed to be served by the network.
If Monogoto approves it, the SIM will have access to the network.

Guys, concerning device certification, I want to share a few points.

1 As Yaniv mentioned, monogoto is not asking for the device to be a certificate
2 We have a full audit that can help us and our customers find and fix devices that do not well behave (too many registration / Authentication etc.)
3 Customers do need to make sure that the transmission level of the device is within regulation, but in most cases, with a standard modem, this is not an issue.
