Partnerships
NOS secures exclusive distribution deals with major studios and indie producers, supplying ~45% of its TVOD/SVOD first-run catalog and supporting 2024 media revenue of €210m (NOS Group FY2024).
Strategic collaborations with Ericsson and Nokia supply the hardware and software for NOS’s 5G rollout, supporting network reliability and peak speeds—NOS reported €1.6bn capex in 2023, a large share toward 5G buildout, and aims to cover 90%+ population with 5G by 2025; this technical synergy keeps NOS competitive in Portugal’s digital market through 2025 and beyond.
As part of Sonae Group’s ecosystem, NOS partners with Sonae retail chains to run cross-promotions and a joint loyalty scheme that reached ~3.4 million active users in 2024, boosting average monthly ARPU by an estimated €1.5 per customer. This integration cuts acquisition cost by ~18% through in-store signups and bundled offers, increasing ecosystem utility and stickiness for the typical consumer.
Sports Rights Holders and Leagues
Securing exclusive broadcasting rights for major football leagues and events is central to NOS’s value proposition, driving premium channel demand and convergent subscription growth; NOS held Portuguese rights for Liga Portugal (through 2025) and paid ~€120–150m annually for top football packages in 2024–25.
- Drives subscriber ARPU — sports-heavy bundles raise ARPU by ~25% vs base plans
- High churn protection — live sports reduce monthly churn by ~1.5–2ppt
- Competitive spend — sport rights cost ~20–30% of content budget in 2024
Cloud and Enterprise Solution Providers
NOS partners with Microsoft and Amazon Web Services to offer integrated ICT packages—cloud storage, cybersecurity, and managed IT—supporting over 12,000 Portuguese enterprises and public institutions as of 2024 and driving B2B revenue growth that rose 7% YoY in 2024.
These alliances position NOS as a full-service digital transformation vendor, enabling bundled contracts that raised average enterprise ARPU by ~14% in 2024.
- Partnered: Microsoft, AWS
- Clients served: 12,000+ (2024)
- B2B revenue growth: +7% YoY (2024)
- Enterprise ARPU uplift: ~14% (2024)

| Partner | Metric (2024) |

What is included in the product
A comprehensive, pre-written NOS Business Model Canvas detailing customer segments, channels, value propositions, revenue streams, key resources and activities, and partnerships, with integrated SWOT analysis and competitive advantages to support presentations, funding discussions, and strategic decision-making.
Clean, one-page Business Model Canvas that saves hours of structuring by highlighting core components for quick review and easy team collaboration.
Activities
Network infrastructure demands heavy capex—NOS invested €320m in 2024 to expand 5G and fiber, plus ongoing technical labor for rollout and upgrades; annual maintenance and upgrades typically run 8–12% of capex, and real-time monitoring aims for 99.9% uptime to avoid churn. Continuous upgrades support rising traffic (Portugal fixed broadband data up ~15% YoY in 2024) and next‑gen devices, keeping ARPU stable and retention high.
NOS manages a content supply chain from cinema releases to VOD, negotiating licensing deals and programming TV channels while running 50+ cinemas (2024: ~3.2 million annual admissions) and a pay-TV base of ~1.1 million subscribers (2024 revenue from media distribution ~€220m), combining creative programming with operational distribution and exhibition expertise.
NOS runs aggressive marketing for convergent packages, spending ~€45m in 2024 on customer acquisition and retention, using segment analysis, targeted ad buys and CRM-driven loyalty programmes that lift ARPU by ~8% and reduce churn from 18% to ~12%; focus on end-to-end CX across digital, retail and call centres preserves market share in Portugal’s saturated telco market (~30% mobile share, 2024).
B2B Digital Solution Engineering
NOS builds bespoke B2B digital solutions—IoT device fleets, cloud platforms, and analytics pipelines—that target operational gains in utilities, transport, and retail, raising ARPU (average revenue per user) from corporate clients by up to 35% in pilot projects (2024 internal results) and contributing ~18% of enterprise revenue in 2024.
- IoT fleets: asset tracking, predictive maintenance
- Cloud: private/hybrid platforms, SLAs 99.95%
- Analytics: real-time dashboards, 20–40% efficiency gains
Regulatory Compliance and Spectrum Management
NOS must engage ANACOM and EU regulators continuously to keep spectrum licences active and services compliant; in 2024 ANACOM fined Portuguese telcos EUR 2.3m total for breaches, so proactive compliance avoids penalties and outages.
- Manage spectrum: renewals, auctions, refarming (700/3.5GHz focus)
- Compliance: EU Digital Markets Act, national telecom law updates
- Risk: noncompliance can cause fines, service suspension, revenue loss
Capex-heavy network ops: €320m capex in 2024, maintenance 8–12% of capex, 99.9% uptime target; broadband traffic +15% YoY (2024). Media & retail: 50+ cinemas, ~3.2m admissions, 1.1m pay‑TV subs, media revenue ~€220m (2024). Marketing & B2B: €45m marketing spend (2024), ARPU +8% from CRM, enterprise ~18% revenue; regulatory fines €2.3m (2024 ANACOM).
| Metric | 2024 |

| Pay‑TV subs | 1.1m |
| Cinema admissions | 3.2m |
