Multi-MNO Compliance Hub

Eurostat’s Multi-MNO programme (service contract ESTAT 2021.0400) delivers the standards Telcofy follows when producing EU-grade mobility analytics. The project combines: (1) a methodological blueprint, (2) an open-source PySpark implementation, and (3) a catalogue of statistical products for National Statistical Institutes (NSIs). This documentation cluster distils those artefacts and records how Telcofy aligns with them.

How to navigate this section

• Methodological Framework (Vol. I) — key principles, reference vs. demonstrator scenarios, and design rules for the pipeline.
• Use Cases (Vol. II) — the seven statistical products (present population, usual environment, tourism, etc.) derived from MNO data.
• Methods & Data Objects (Vol. III) — detailed algorithms, equations, and intermediate datasets underlying each module.
• Codebase & Orchestration — how the open-source repository is structured and how Telcofy mirrors it operationally.
• Quality Framework — business processes, input/output QC, and reporting expectations for MNO-based statistics.
• Staypoint Detection — deep dive on Continuous Time Segmentation and related staypoint logic.

Programme snapshot

• Timeline — Contract awarded January 2023, concluding mid‑2025 after multi-country pilots with five participating MNOs.
• Governance — Driven by Eurostat’s Directorate ESTAT.A.5 with oversight from the ESS Task Force on MNO data and an external Advisory Board.
• Resources — Public (landing page)[https://cros.ec.europa.eu/landing-page/multi-mno-project] with deliverables and materials.
• Tooling — Open-source code D4.4 released in 2025 (version 1.0) ; ongoing quality framework updates (D3.3)(https://cros.ec.europa.eu/group/6/files/2658/download) and testing reports (D5.2)[https://cros.ec.europa.eu/group/6/files/2661/download].

Why it matters for Telcofy

• Regulatory assurance — Adhering to the MultiMNO modules lets Telcofy evidence privacy, quality, and governance controls when onboarding EU customers.
• Interoperable outputs — Matching USE case definitions and data schemas ensures our indicators can be benchmarked against ESS publications.
• Future-proofing — Tracking Eurostat revisions keeps our data-sharing agreements and infrastructure aligned with evolving EU legislation (e.g., Regulation (EU) 2024/3018, amendments to Regulation (EC) No 223/2009).

Privacy and data access posture

• Privacy-by-design — Following guidance from MNOdata4OS, Telcofy restricts raw-event handling to secure computation environments, enforces staged aggregation, and retains full provenance/retention logs.
• Sustainable access models — Contracts mirror the MultiMNO reference scenario: explicit mandates for MNO-to-NSI sharing, cost-recovery mechanisms, and options for secure enclaves when cross-MNO fusion is required.
