Jasper Wireless: Better than an MVNO Only Jasper Wireless delivers the visibility, control and innovative capabilities you need to scale your connected device deployments. Understand the different types of service providers by downloading a complimentary report from ABI Research. Many MVNOs claim to serve the needs of M2M application providers. In most cases, this is provided with some specialized sales and marketing focus on connecting machines. However, an MVNO’s ability to deliver innovative M2M solutions depends on the underlying infrastructure of the network they resell. Jasper Wireless is not an MVNO. We don't have that contingency because we have our own network infrastructure, designed just for wireless machine-to-machine communications. Here’s how Jasper Wireless compares with MVNOs:
