The service will combine bandwidth from wireless providers “with OXIO’s own core network, which will provide all functions other than radio transmission, including routing calls to and from the wireless radio access network, connecting to the internet and voice and SMS gateways, routing calls to interexchange carriers, business support, and providing end user devices and SIM cards,” it said. The company noted that no one opposed the waiver in the initial comment round.
