What Squire Technologies does

Squire Technologies Limited is a UK-headquartered (Wareham, Dorset) private vendor of telecommunications core network signalling software, founded in 2001. It specialises in mediation, routing, interworking, security, and measurement functions that allow operators to run and migrate between multi-generation networks (2G/3G/4G/5G, VoLTE, IMS, NGN, and legacy SS7). The portfolio is anchored on three proprietary platforms — Sigla (unified signalling), Mirus (messaging), and Vozi (voice) — extended with a 5G Core suite (HSC, SEPP, SCP, IWF, SMSF, BSF, CHF), Diameter signalling products (DSC, DRA, DEA, IWF), legacy SS7 products (STP, GMSC), an Open Gateway API product (SVI-OGW), voice/SBC/media-gateway products, the MavenShield fraud-prevention gateway, and Prism network monitoring. Squire reports deployments with 400+ telecom operators across 150+ countries and approximately 30 billion transactions per second across its installed base.

The company sells to Mobile Network Operators, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), MVNEs, wholesale carriers, fixed operators, and application service providers. Revenue is generated via perpetual software licences, recurring support contracts priced at 15–25% of licence value (Silver, Gold, Platinum tiers), professional services (installation, commissioning, training), monthly managed-services fees through mPaaS (Managed Platform as a Service), and hardware sales (SVI-MG media gateways, SVI-SBC session border controllers). Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales supported by implementation partners (e.g., Sunset Technology, NetEngage), with sustained presence at MWC Barcelona and Teleforum for lead generation. Named customers span Vodafone, T-Mobile, Orange, Globalstar, Sure Group, Africell, Telesur, Ventocom, and Smile.

Squire remains privately held under founder/CEO Sanjeev Verma with no external equity investment disclosed. In 2025 the company obtained ISO 9001, UK Cyber Essentials Plus, and an NIS 2 A-Rating, and it extended its footprint through new deployments with Ventocom (Austria/1.6M subscribers) and Africell (DRC), and in 2026 with Telesur (Suriname). Recent product investment centres on the Open Gateway (SVI-OGW, 2025) and the 5G Core suite, signalling continued extension from legacy SS7 interworking into 5G SA core and API-driven service exposure.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• Ericsson: Ericsson is the global incumbent vendor for mobile core networks (EPC, 5GC, IMS) and a much larger competitor in signalling and interworking. Squire positions its products as flexible, lower-cost alternatives for operators that want a non-Ericsson multi-vendor strategy.
• Huawei: Huawei is a major incumbent for 5G core, signalling and messaging products with deep penetration in EMEA, Africa, Asia and LATAM - many of the same geographies where Squire sells. The Telesur win (Ribbon SBC replacement) directly references Huawei/legacy vendor displacement.
• Jabil (Cinch / Openet-acquired assets): Openet, now part of Jabil/Accenture ecosystem, provides charging and BSS software that complements or competes with Squire's CHF/SCP products in Tier 1 operator networks. Adjacent competitor in the 5G core Nchf/N30 charging stack.
• Nokia: Nokia's Cloud and Network Services group provides 5G core, IMS and signalling products alongside its broader RAN portfolio. Squire competes for the signalling/interworking piece of Nokia's accounts, particularly at Tier 2/3 operators and MVNOs.

Direct peers

• Ribbon Communications: Ribbon (formerly GENBAND/SONUS) is a direct peer in session border controllers, Diameter signalling, and interworking gateways serving carriers and MVNOs. Both companies sell signalling controllers and SBCs into multi-generation telecom cores and compete for the same RFPs.
• Mavenir: Mavenir is the most direct peer - an independent vendor specialising in virtualised, cloud-native 4G/5G core network functions including signalling, IMS and messaging. Squire and Mavenir both pursue Tier 2/3 MNOs and MVNOs seeking open, software-centric alternatives to the Ericsson/Nokia/Huawei stack.
• Dialogic: Dialogic provides messaging, signalling and media gateway products (SMSC, STP, media gateways) for telecom operators and application providers. It competes head-to-head with Squire's Mirus, STP, SVI-MG and SVI-SBC product lines for SS7/SIP interworking deals.
• Sigma Systems: Sigma Systems (HCL/IBM-era) builds digital BSS and active mediation products used by operators for multi-generation charging and service orchestration. Competes with the integration/back-office layer that Squire's IWF and signalling platforms address.

Emerging players

• Bareways Networks: Bareways and similar niche vendors target African and LATAM operators with smaller-footprint mobile core and signalling stacks. They are emerging-play competitors to Squire in the same regional, budget-sensitive segments.
• ClearMind Technology: ClearMind is an emerging vendor focused on signalling analysis, fraud and revenue assurance for telecom operators. It is comparable to Squire's MavenShield fraud prevention and Prism monitoring offerings in spirit, though smaller in scale.
