VNL

 

We’re the billions of people who live in rural areas. We don’t want your HSPA or DVB-H services. We want to make voice calls. And we’re willing to pay for them.

WorldGSM™ Solutions

For the first time, there’s a viable way to serve rural communities with affordable mobile communications.

By cutting costs, reducing power consumption and simplifying installation and maintenance, WorldGSM™ has extended the reach of the world’s operators into markets they could never before serve.

Deployment Options

WorldGSM™ can be deployed in either of two main configurations to address two different opportunities:

  • Rural Deployment — for low-cost, blanket coverage of an entire rural area.
  • Road Deployment — for highly focused coverage along major roads and arteries.

The deployment options can be easily combined into a single WorldGSM™ network or as simple extensions to any existing GSM network.

WorldGSM™ Services

The company that designed and engineered the WorldGSM™ system also supports operators with a range of services that help make the most of the rural opportunity:

  • Professional Services
    The WorldGSM™ team includes some of the most experienced telecom executives and engineers in the industry. We’ll help you size and scope markets; design WorldGSM™ networks to address them; develop business models and service plans; then help you roll out your network and your business.
  • Operations and Maintenance
    VNL can operate the entire WorldGSM™ network for you, as a complete managed service or on a risk-sharing basis. Or we can provide comprehensive maintenance services to keep the network up and running, trouble-free.
