What Vivo does

Vivo is the consumer and enterprise telecommunications brand of Telefônica Brasil S.A. (B3: VIVT3; CNPJ 02.558.157/0001-62), the publicly-listed Brazilian subsidiary of Spanish multinational Telefónica S.A., headquartered in São Paulo. The company operates Brazil's largest telecommunications infrastructure, offering mobile services across prepaid (Vivo Pré), controlled (Vivo Controle), postpaid (Vivo Pós), and entry-level (Vivo Easy Lite) plan tiers, plus international roaming in 175+ countries via Vivo Travel. The fixed-line portfolio includes Vivo Fibra (FTTH at 400 Mbps to 10 Gbps with Wi-Fi 6/7), Vivo Casa 5G (portable 5G home internet), Vivo TV (120+ channels streaming), and the Vivo Total bundle combining fiber with postpaid mobile at claimed savings up to 40%.

The technology stack is built on owned spectrum and fiber assets — including 5G leadership validated externally (5G Global Awards fastest network for two consecutive years, nPerf 2026 best fixed internet and best Wi-Fi/5G globally, Opensignal 2026 best broadband Brazil). Vivo monetizes primarily through subscription billing on monthly cycles, with promotional 12-month indexed contracts; revenue streams span mobile subscriptions, fixed broadband, TV streaming, business solutions (dedicated internet, VPN, SIP trunking, PABX virtual), resold cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, IBM Cloud, Huawei Cloud via Vivo Cloud Plus), productivity tools (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace with Gemini), cybersecurity (McAfee, Vivo XDR, Defesa Digital, MDM), IoT (M2M, fleet, smart agriculture), financial services (Vivo Pay loans, insurance), and device resale. Distribution runs through company retail, authorized dealers, the Vivo Store e-commerce site, WhatsApp and 0800 phone sales, an enterprise field sales team, and a wholesale channel (Vivo Atacado) targeting ISPs (provedores). Customer segments split between mass-market B2C consumers and a B2B portfolio addressing SMEs to large enterprises, with sector-specific solutions for agriculture, healthcare, education, and retail.
