Telecentro

What Telecentro does

Telecentro S.A. is an Argentine privately held telecommunications provider founded in 1991 and headquartered in San Justo, Buenos Aires Province, with a workforce of 501-1,000 employees. The company delivers fixed broadband internet (plans up to 1,000 Mbps), cable and digital television (200+ HD/4K channels), fixed-line telephony, and mobile virtual network service (T-Phone) to residential, small business, and enterprise customers across Argentina. Its core technology stack is built on a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network that is replacing legacy cable infrastructure through an approximately $400 million three-year migration program, supplemented by a 1.25MW, 600-rack data center in Lomas del Mirador that supports enterprise and government infrastructure-as-a-service contracts.

Telecentro monetizes primarily through recurring monthly subscriptions to triple-play bundles (TV + Internet + Telephony) and standalone plans, with incremental ARPU from premium content packs (Pack Fútbol for Argentine Professional Football League via ESPN Premium and TNT Sports, HBO, Disney+, Prime Video, Universal+, 4K), value-added services (Digital Care telemedicine, Seguros Qualia insurance), and hardware sales/rentals (4K and Android TV decoders, WiFi Mesh extenders, Telecentro CAM cameras). The proprietary T-Play OTT platform extends live TV, on-demand video, and DVR across mobile, web, Smart TV, and Chromecast, and the Telecentro Alexa decoder integrates Amazon Alexa voice control with Dolby Atmos audio and WiFi 6 connectivity to anchor a connected-home offering.

Distribution spans phone-based inside sales (6380-0000 residential, 3535-0000 business), WhatsApp sales and 24/7 self-service, the telecentro.com.ar e-commerce site, mobile apps, field installation teams, and physical bill payment through Rapipago, Pago Fácil, Mercado Pago, and major ATM networks. Recent strategic activity centers on IT modernization (Salesforce CRM and Netcracker OSS), B2G and B2B expansion (Ecom Chaco data center MOU, Starlink rural school installations), and adjacent product launches (Digital Care telemedicine, Telecentro Joystick Bluetooth, Sony One content pack).

• Supercanal: Argentine regional cable operator providing cable TV, broadband, and telephony in interior provinces. Directly competes with Telecentro on cable MSO business model with overlapping product mix and similar residential customer base.
• Iplan: Argentina-focused fiber ISP serving residential and business customers in major urban centers. Comparable FTTH-led broadband model and similar B2C/B2B segmentation, directly contesting Telecentro's fiber footprint in overlapping metros.
• Metrotel: Argentine fixed-line operator offering broadband, telephony, and data services to residential and enterprise customers. Comparable product mix and business model, with overlapping enterprise/government data services segment.
