We are democratizing telecom and making it easily accessible for brands and enterprises to fully own and operate proprietary mobile networks designed to support their own customers needs.

With a continuous focus on innovation, any company can build a powerful telecom presence with OXIO, and in addition help them glean unique customer insights like never before.

Job Description

Mobile connectivity is a scarce resource for many people, and its affordability varies significantly across countries. For example, the cost of 500 MB of connectivity requires just 30 minutes of work for an American but 40 hours for a Mexican. Additionally, when traveling, people must either pay high roaming fees or deal with the hassle of navigating local carriers. The telecom space needs a transformation. Our proposition is a unified exchange where actors such as carriers, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), IoT providers, phone manufacturers, and others can trade connectivity. This platform aims to drive down costs and enable new experiences for users and businesses alike.
