2025 was a defining year for OXIO. We saw growing demand for Telecom-as-a-Service (TaaS) across industries that have long been constrained by traditional telecom models, and we spent the year laying the groundwork to support that momentum at scale. From strengthening our leadership team and achieving key regulatory milestones to expanding our platform and customer operations, 2025 was about building the foundation for our next phase of global growth.
Investing in the team behind the TaaS solution
Growth at this scale doesn’t happen without the right people, and in 2025, we made deliberate investments in leadership across customer experience, sales, product, governance and more. We welcomed Ricky Ramon as SVP of Customer Experience, who brought deep operational expertise from Verizon and led the transformation of our customer operations through the rollout of a world-class BPO program. Robb Robinson joined as SVP of Sales and Channels, helping accelerate commercial momentum across the U.S., while Steve Parrott and Tobi Mott strengthened our product and regulatory leadership as SVP of Product Management and VP of Legal. Together, these additions, along with many others across our product, sales, and technology teams, ensure OXIO is not only growing, but growing with the right people to lead its vision forward.
Recognition and milestones that mattered
2025 was also a year of meaningful validation for OXIO’s TaaS model. OXIO was recognized with Frost & Sullivan’s Global Telecom-as-a-Service Transformational Innovation Leadership Award and named in The Fast Mode 100 – Top Solution Providers of 2025, alongside some of the world’s most established technology companies. We were also proud to win the Cloud Innovation category at the Global Connectivity Awards. Beyond industry recognition, we reached several critical milestones, including receiving our FCC license—becoming the first cloud-native, multi-carrier wholesale network and TaaS platform approved by the regulator—and completing VoLTE certification in the U.S. These achievements marked important steps forward in expanding our operational footprint and credibility in key markets.
Continuing to evolve the product and platform
Product innovation remained a core focus throughout the year as we continued to abstract the complexity of telecom for our customers. In 2025, we expanded our BrandVNO® platform across digital experiences, payments, connectivity, and operations, supporting an increasing range of use cases across consumer, enterprise, and machine-to-machine connectivity. At the same time, we scaled our fully managed customer support BPO model, delivering 7-day-a-week omnichannel support and allowing customers to operate and grow without having to build or manage telecom operations themselves. Together, these investments strengthened OXIO’s role as a carrier of record and a true end-to-end TaaS partner.
Spreading the word on the value of global, cloud-based and programmable telecom
Connecting with the industry in person was another focus for OXIO in 2025, with our team traveling to cities including Barcelona, Vienna, Copenhagen, Las Vegas, and Dallas to share how TaaS is enabling businesses across industries to rethink what’s possible when it comes to connectivity. We brought teams to global events such as Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where we met with customers, partners, and industry leaders to discuss the future of cloud-native telecom and emerging connectivity use cases. Our leadership also took to the stage at key industry forums, with our CEO Nico Girard, speaking alongside partners MATRIXX and AWS at events like DTW Ignite to explore how programmable, cloud-based networks are reshaping telecom. At MWC, our CTO Adil Belihomji joined AWS and AT&T on stage to share insights into the evolution of the mobile market and the new, differentiated use cases being powered by TaaS. Together, these moments reinforced OXIO’s role not just as a TaaS provider, but as an active contributor to the conversations shaping the future of the industry.
Looking ahead to 2026
As we head into 2026, our focus is clear: continue scaling globally while enabling even more innovative and underserved connectivity use cases. We’ll keep investing in our network, platform, customer operations, and team to help customers launch faster, operate more efficiently, and scale with confidence. With a strong foundation in place and growing momentum across markets, we’re excited about what’s ahead and about continuing to redefine what’s possible in telecom with Telecom-as-a-Service.
