Tismi

What Tismi does

Tismi BV is a Netherlands-headquartered licensed telecommunications operator and MVNO/MVNE infrastructure provider founded in 2006 and based in Hilversum. The company operates a next-generation mobile core network featuring multi-IMSI technology that allows simultaneous service delivery to landline and mobile clients over a unified infrastructure. Tismi holds national full MVNO status in multiple European countries — specifically Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Iceland, and the Netherlands — and operates active points of presence in Zurich, Frankfurt, London, Reykjavik, Brussels, and Amsterdam, with infrastructure being constructed in Stockholm, Paris, and Vienna.

The company's revenue is generated through three primary service lines. First, MVNO services generate recurring subscription revenue from end-customer mobile and landline subscribers in markets where Tismi is the licensed operator. Second, MVNE (Mobile Virtual Network Enabler) services provide B2B enterprises with the platform, regulatory licensing, and interconnect relationships needed to launch their own telecom businesses, producing contractually recurring revenue. Third, Global/Carrier Services — voice and data termination plus interconnect with PTTs, incumbents, and mobile operators worldwide — generate usage-based wholesale revenue. The go-to-market is direct enterprise/B2B sales to companies seeking to enter or expand in telecom without building their own network. Customer segments span (i) aspiring MVNO operators needing turnkey infrastructure, (ii) end-user telecom consumers in Tismi's licensed markets, and (iii) carrier/operator counterparties requiring global interconnect.

Since January 1, 2021, Tismi has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Link Mobility Group AS, a Norwegian-headquartered European mobile operator group. Tismi is a GSMA member and is led by co-founder and Managing Director Jeroen Bruggemann. The company is in an active phase of geographic expansion within Europe, leveraging its parent group's resources to extend the infrastructure footprint into additional EU markets.
