What Dotlines does

Dotlines Global Ltd is a Guernsey-incorporated, AIM-listed (ticker DOTL) collaborative technology group that became publicly traded on 11 May 2026 following a reverse takeover by Ikigai Ventures Ltd. The company operates across the United Kingdom, Singapore and Malaysia through four core sub-brands: Sohoj, a digital lifestyle platform serving B2C and B2B2C migrant populations with over one million subscribers in Malaysia; Catena, an in-house OSS and BSS software platform providing sale, development and operate functionality to ISPs; Audra, a provider of SME and consumer cybersecurity solutions built around physical firewall routers for office and home use; and Carnival Internet, a UK full fibre broadband service that doubles as the Group's 'centre of excellence' for Catena and Audra.

Underlying technology consists of proprietary OSS/BSS software, a digital lifestyle mobile and content platform with bespoke gamification and cross-border services modules, physical cybersecurity hardware, and a full fibre network. The model integrates software, hardware and connectivity into a single stack, with Carnival Internet positioned as the live test environment that demonstrates and validates Catena and Audra for external customers.

Revenue is generated through a mix of mechanisms: Sohoj subscription and B2B2C revenue shares with telecom partners, Catena recurring OSS/BSS licensing, Audra hardware sales, Carnival Internet broadband subscriptions, and bespoke value-added services (digital content, hyper-casual games, micro-monetisation gamification) to mobile users and telecom counterparties. Customers span migrant consumers in Southeast Asia, ISP and telecom enterprise buyers, UK residential broadband subscribers, and SME/consumer cybersecurity buyers.

Broad incumbents

• Wise (formerly TransferWise): Global cross-border payments platform serving consumers and businesses with multi-currency accounts and remittances. Comparable to the cross-border financial-inclusion services embedded in Sohoj, though at materially larger scale.
• Fortinet: Global vendor of network security appliances including firewalls, with a strong SME/SMB product line. Comparable to Audra's physical firewall router business on product category (network firewall hardware), though operating at global enterprise scale.
• TalkTalk: Major UK ISP and broadband provider offering residential and business connectivity services. Comparable to Carnival Internet on UK broadband retail, and a relevant reference given Dotlines' CEO and NED both held senior roles at TalkTalk.
• Amdocs: Global market leader in BSS, OSS and network monetisation software for communications, media and financial services providers. Overlaps directly with Catena but operates at much larger scale and serves tier-1 operators across the full telecom software stack.

Direct peers

• Lebara: Mobile virtual network operator and digital services provider targeting migrant communities with international calling, data and remittance products. Directly comparable to Dotlines' Sohoj on customer segment (migrant populations), product mix (cross-border digital services) and B2C/B2B2C model.
• Netcracker Technology: Provides OSS/BSS software suites for telecom operators and ISPs globally. Directly comparable to Dotlines' Catena platform on product, target customer and delivery model – both sell operations and business support software to communications service providers.
• WorldRemit: Cross-border digital remittances platform serving migrant populations globally. Comparable to Sohoj's cross-border services component on target customer (migrants), use case (cross-border money movement) and digital-first distribution.
• Bitdefender: Provider of consumer and SME-focused cybersecurity products including endpoint security, firewall and network protection. Comparable to Dotlines' Audra business on target customer (SME and consumer) and product category (cybersecurity for home/office).
• Community Fibre: London-focused UK full fibre broadband altnet delivering gigabit residential services. Closest pure-play comparator to Carnival Internet on product offering, customer base and UK altnet go-to-market.
• CityFibre: UK altnet building and operating full fibre broadband infrastructure, wholesaling to ISPs and competing for residential customers. Directly comparable to Dotlines' Carnival Internet on product, geography and target segment.
