Telecom-as-a-service (TAAS) provider Oxio surpassed two million activated lines on its wholesale network across North America, boosted by agreements with AT&T and Amazon Web Services (AWS).   

US-based Oxio enables brands to offer telecom-like services to their customers by using its APIs and UIs on a cloud-native platform. Its platform allows MVNOs and businesses to build, manage and launch their own mobile services.

It struck an agreement with the mobile operator late last year to expand the availability of its service across the US.

Oxio, which was founded in 2018, began running its cloud-native platform on AWS in February, which enables the company to scale its network globally while serving customers in new markets.

In March, Oxio secured approval from the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate its cloud-native, multi-operator wholesale network and TaaS offering in the US.  

“Given that they didn’t attach to AT&T’s network until late last year, which expanded their reach, hitting two million lines is a respectable milestone for their new approach to the MVNx market,” AvidThink founder and principal Roy Chua told Mobile World Live. “And the FCC approval helps establish their credibility in the US market, as did a similar approval in Mexico prior.”

He noted evaluating subscriber growth for Oxio is a little different than doing so for a typical MNO like Rakuten in Japan or EchoStar’s Boost Mobile in the US.

“To compare, Boost Mobile added 150,000 subscribers in Q1 2025,” he said. “Rakuten went from 8.5 million in February of 2025 to 9 million in July 2025 and Mint Mobile had about two million to three million subscribers when T-Mobile US acquired them.”
