Manet Mobile Solutions
Manet Mobile Solutions is an Italian company focused on developing digital solutions for the tourism industry aimed at providing travelers around the world with Internet connectivity and a universe of content and services designed to enrich their travel experience. It operates across 10 countries with more than 200 customers, including leadinghospitality, car rental, and travel brands, who enjoy Manet' solutions as tools capable of generating additional revenue, simplifying daily operations, and increasing the satisfaction and engagement of their customers.The company was founded in 2015 as the brainchild of five young entrepreneurs: Antonio Calia, Marco Barbato, Luca Liparulo, Marco Maisto and Andrea Proietti. The startup was able to raise private capital also thanks to the LVenture Group investment fund (a holding company listed on the MTA of the Italian stock exchange), to its business accelerator LUISS EnLabs (originated from a joint venture with the LUISS University) and to the related network of business angels, leading the startup to attract more than €2 million in investment over time for product and business development.Manet's initial concept relied on a fully customized smartphone designed for hotel, b&b and vacation rental guests, offering free international calls and unlimited Internet connectivity, along with the ability to book all accommodation services directly from the Manet smartphone and take advantage of a whole range of tourist content and services tailored on the destination, such as a travel guide, food and wine suggestions, utility tools (translator, currency exchange, etc.), and the ability to purchase tickets for events, museums and attractions. Starting in 2018, the Manet smartphone evolves into a digital travel assistant also aimed at the car rental industry, to equip car renters with an innovative tool to replace more traditional GPS navigators and Wi-Fi portable routers. Then, in 2020, Manet services are also being made available through the Manet App - directly installable in the travelers' smartphones - in order to offer a fully customized staying experience for hotel guests.The technological advancements in the telecommunications industry leads the company to rethink the original concept in order to develop an even more revolutionary and innovative product. In 2022, the company started rolling out Manet Travel, a connectivity solution based on eSIM (virtual SIM) technology that can bring via an app all the content and services offered on board Manet smartphones directly to the traveler's personal device. Jointly with tour operators, travel agencies, and other travel and tourism players, Manet Mobile Solutions enables travelers from around the world to enjoy a data connectivity package on their personal smartphones thanks to eSIM technology, enabling them to surf the Internet and access the universe of services and content offered by Manet and to enhance their overall abroad travel experience.
