What Tomia does

TOMIA provides roaming and interconnect monetization software to mobile network operators (MNOs) worldwide. The company, legally Starhome Mach GmbH (Luxembourg) and operating as TOMIA since the February 2019 merger of Starhome Mach and Telarix, sells a unified platform of six core products: Steering of Roaming (IPN), Campaign Management (Sparx), Virtual Home Environment (VHE), Gateway Location Register (GLR), Real-Time Anti-Fraud (RAF), and Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP). These support 2G through 5G Standalone networks via NFV-native, cloud-hosted, and containerized deployment options, and are wrapped in solution bundles for VoLTE Roaming, 5G Roaming, IoT Roaming, ECOWAS Free Roaming, and a Travel Revenue Accelerator. AI/ML capabilities layer on top, including adaptive steering with autonomous configuration, subscriber clustering, and real-time QoS-based anomaly detection.

The platform is sold exclusively through direct enterprise sales to MNOs, supported by case studies, industry events (MWC, GSMA WAS), and thought-leadership content. Revenue is generated through subscription or platform licensing for the VAS products, managed services for clearing and settlement (via the MACH business unit), and professional services for onboarding and integration. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure. The company has been owned by Lumine Group (TSXV:LMN) since June 2022, operates from regional headquarters in the US, Israel, Luxembourg, and India, and reports a presence in over 30 countries serving 400+ operators, including 30 tier-1 MNOs and 6 of the industry's largest operator groups.

Direct peers

• Mobileum: Mobileum is the closest direct competitor to TOMIA, offering roaming and interconnection management, anti-fraud, and analytics platforms to mobile operators worldwide. Its product portfolio (steering, fraud, signaling, analytics) overlaps directly with TOMIA's IPN, RAF, and 5G SEPP capabilities.
• Syniverse: Syniverse provides carrier messaging, roaming, clearing, and inter-operator messaging services to global MNOs. It competes directly with TOMIA's MACH clearing/settlement unit and IPN steering in the wholesale operator services layer.
• BICS: BICS is the wholesale carrier services arm of Proximus, providing global voice, data, messaging and roaming services. It both partners with and competes alongside TOMIA in clearing/settlement, with overlapping global operator customers.
• i2 Group (formerly i2i Teleservices / Kalibrate Telecoms): i2 Group provides interconnect, clearing, and revenue assurance software to mobile operators. It is a direct competitor in the clearing/settlement space where TOMIA's MACH unit also operates, addressing similar tier-1 MNO customers.
• TEOCO: TEOCO provides network analytics, assurance, and roaming analytics solutions to telecom operators globally. Its roaming analytics and customer/network analytics capabilities directly overlap with TOMIA's award-winning analytics modules.
• Subex: Subex offers telecom analytics, fraud management, and revenue assurance software to operators worldwide. Its fraud and analytics products compete directly with TOMIA's Real-Time Anti-Fraud (RAF) and roaming analytics modules.

Broad incumbents

• Netcracker Technology: Netcracker (an NEC company) provides BSS/OSS, digital enablement, and revenue management to Tier-1 telecom operators. While broader than TOMIA, it competes for the same operator IT budgets and increasingly bundles partner-served capabilities into its telecom stack.
• Comverse (now MATRIXX + client base): MATRIXX Software (successor to key Comverse telecom assets) provides real-time digital charging, billing, and partner monetization for operators. It competes with TOMIA in adjacent billing/charging use cases that touch wholesale interconnect economics.
• Ericsson: Ericsson is a global NEP providing 5G core networks, including SEPP and policy/charging functions. As operators consolidate vendors onto NEP stacks, Ericsson competes with TOMIA at the network-level integration points for 5G roaming and SEPP.
• Nokia: Nokia Networks provides core, OSS/CX, and analytics solutions to operators globally via its Nokia Software business and AVA platform. Its AnyRAN/NetGuard and AVA analytics offerings compete with TOMIA in 5G core adjacent analytics and security domains.
