We optimize, secure, and monetize services for MNOs around the world. Driven by innovation, we develop and deliver reliable software solutions that enhance telecom.
Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are facing a perfect storm of surging traffic and flat revenues—data demand is set to grow 10x faster than income between 2024 and 2030. 5G is set to deliver efficiency gains that can absorb this growth—but it comes with a large investment. Some markets saw CAPEX jump 60% from 2020 to 2023, and the trend is set to continue.
At the same time, mobile networks are increasingly targeted by rogue nations and cybercriminals. Hybrid warfare, signaling exploits, and messaging fraud all threaten operator revenues and resilience. And with nearly everyone relying on mobile connectivity, customers expect seamless service—any dip in performance risks churn.
Despite these challenges, there is still opportunity for operators to thrive and optimize their networks to grow revenues, secure subscribers and elevate quality of experience (QoE) for their customers.
Mobile networks have always been mission-critical infrastructure, making them prime targets for attackers and fraudsters. Threat actors exploit vulnerabilities in signaling protocols (SS7, Diameter, GTP-C, HTTP/2) for espionage, subscriber data theft, and denial of service. Messaging channels are also heavily abused, with spam, smishing, and grey-route SMS traffic draining billions in operator revenue while damaging subscriber trust. Voice networks are under pressure from spoofing, robocalls, and flash-call abuse, while IoT connectivity opens new attack surfaces. At the same time, regulators are tightening security requirements, and many operators struggle to keep pace without building large, specialized in-house teams.
Enea provides operators with a full-stack security portfolio that protects data, stops fraud, blocks abuse, and recovers lost revenue streams. With the acquisition of AdaptiveMobile Security in 2021, Enea added one of the industry’s strongest signaling and messaging security teams, backed by global threat intelligence and decades of expertise.
Core mobile services are increasingly commoditized, with flat ARPU and limited room for growth. Competing only on speed and coverage is no longer enough—operators need to create new enterprise services, differentiated consumer experiences, and innovative offers to stand out. At the same time, operational efficiency is crucial to ensure profitability.
By securely exposing network capabilities through APIs, operators can enable enterprise innovation and tap into high-growth ecosystems. IoT connectivity, particularly for SMEs, offers another profitable growth area—if delivered at scale without the costs of custom deployments. Flash calls, once purely a fraud concern, are also emerging as a new monetizable channel when managed correctly.
Enea provides software solutions that enable operators to differentiate, monetize, and scale new services in both consumer and enterprise markets. From IoT connectivity to API-driven offers, Enea helps operators seize new revenue opportunities without driving up complexity or cost.
Subscriber and session data are often fragmented across multiple network functions and vendor-specific silos. This slows down innovation, complicates service rollouts, and drives up operational costs. With the arrival of 5G, operators need cloud-native agility, unified control, and the ability to support emerging models like IoT and network slicing.
A unified data architecture eliminates these inefficiencies by enabling faster time-to-market for new services, consistent policy enforcement across technologies, and reduced reliance on proprietary vendor stacks. Operators want to provision once and reuse everywhere, with flexibility to innovate without legacy constraints.
Enea delivers cloud-native data management and policy control solutions that free operators from vendor lock-in, cut operational costs, and enable rapid service innovation across 4G and 5G environments.
Mobile data consumption continues to surge, fueled by video streaming, gaming, and an ever-growing ecosystem of connected devices. Video alone accounts for 70–80% of traffic, and the rise of encrypted traffic makes classification and optimization more complex. Without smarter traffic management, operators face spiraling infrastructure costs and the risk of degraded Quality of Experience (QoE) during congestion.
To remain competitive, operators must keep cost per gigabyte falling while ensuring excellent user experience. This requires real-time congestion management, video optimization, and differentiated service packages that add customer value without driving up costs.
Enea delivers traffic management and policy control solutions that maximize network efficiency, cut costs, and improve customer experience. With the acquisition of Openwave Mobility in 2018, Enea expanded its expertise in encrypted video optimization and congestion management, enabling operators worldwide to handle traffic surges while unlocking new service opportunities.
5G delivers higher speeds but struggles with indoor penetration due to its higher frequencies. Expanding indoor coverage with small cells is costly and complex, especially in venues and enterprises where demand for reliable connectivity is high.
Wi-Fi offloading offers a cost-effective alternative. By securely shifting traffic to Wi-Fi, operators can improve user experience, relieve strain on macro networks, and monetize new services.
Providing guest Wi-Fi services to venues via captive portals, along with secure Wi-Fi connections for seamless, automatic offloading of mobile subscribers through simple network configuration, is one of the most strategic moves a mobile operator can make. Wi-Fi offloading is arguably the only indoor coverage solution that venue owners are willing to pay for.
With the acquisition of Aptilo Networks, Enea gained over a decade of Wi-Fi offloading expertise and one of the most widely deployed Wi-Fi service management systems in the world. The Enea Aptilo Service Management Platform (SMP) provides operators with a complete package—from SIM-based access to advanced Wi-Fi service management with multitenancy B2B support—turning Wi-Fi from a cost center into a revenue generator.
