What TKI does
TKI mbH (operating as TKI Chemnitz) is a privately held German telecommunications infrastructure company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Chemnitz, with 51-100 employees. It develops and sells the NET Suite, an end-to-end modular software platform covering the full lifecycle of FTTB/FTTH broadband network deployment: NET Cloud (browser-based mobile GIS collaboration), NET Design (automated fiber network design with configurable calculation algorithms), NET Engineering (fiber-level construction documentation), NET Build (digital construction management), NET Operations (fiber route search and fault visualization), NET Scan (smartphone-based 3D site scanning), NET Inhouse (LiDAR-based in-building fiber planning), and NET Maps (network information/inquiry). The platform integrates with Autodesk CAD environments via a PGP connector and with German GIS regulatory systems.
The company monetizes through a hybrid of subscription/recurring software licensing (cloud-based and on-premise) plus professional services including strategic fiber and gigabit consulting, technical due diligence, network planning, construction, surveying, fault location, and asset management. Its customer base is concentrated in German public authorities — the Federal Republic of Germany, German states and counties, federal infrastructure clients such as DEGES — alongside private network operators, municipal utilities, and housing companies. An Energy Solutions division extends the planning and documentation expertise into municipal heat planning and district heating networks.
In October 2025 TKI merged with Hybrid ConsulTech and was welcomed by Invest Cyprus as a platform for international expansion, while a long-standing partnership with CEC Projekt GmbH was deepened in 2026. The company continues to release new product modules (NET Scan, NET Inhouse) and runs an annual TKI Broadband Tour event series in multiple German cities.

TKI competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Esri: World leader in GIS (ArcGIS), widely used by German municipalities and utilities as the backbone mapping platform. Esri is a horizontal incumbent that TKI's NET Cloud and NET Maps interoperate with and that competes for spatial-data-driven network planning budgets.
- Bentley Systems: US-listed infrastructure engineering software company whose OpenUtilities, Fiber and AssetWise products target telecom and utility network design and operations. A larger incumbent covering adjacent infrastructure verticals with overlapping fiber-planning capabilities.
- Netcracker Technology: Provider of OSS/BSS and digital transformation software to telecom operators globally. Broader portfolio but overlapping with TKI's network operations and service-management ambitions for fiber operators.
- Nokia (Network Planning): Nokia sells fixed-network equipment plus associated planning and design tools (e.g., AVA / Network Planner) to fiber operators worldwide. A large incumbent competing at the equipment-and-software layer that TKI partners with or displaces depending on the project.
- Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Siemens' Smart Infrastructure division covers building automation, grid software and digital-twin offerings that overlap with TKI's building automation, IPTV and IT-network planning services for German enterprises and municipalities.
- Hexagon AB: Global provider of geospatial and asset-management software (e.g., Hexagon's Network Management & Telecom portfolio). A broad incumbent whose telecom offerings compete with NET Suite for large utility and operator accounts.
Direct peers
- IQGeo: UK-based software vendor (formerly IQGeo Group) selling network management and geospatial software to telecom operators, utilities, and fiber builders. Overlaps directly with TKI's NET Operations, NET Cloud and asset-management offerings.
- Comsof: Belgian-headquartered provider of FiberPlanIT and other telecom network planning software. Comsof is the most direct software-only competitor to TKI's NET Design/NET Engineering modules for automated FTTH/FTTx planning.
Others
- Autodesk: Provider of CAD/BIM and infrastructure design software that TKI integrates with via its PGP connector to Autodesk Fachschalen. A partner and adjacent ecosystem player rather than a direct competitor in fiber planning.
- Schneider Electric: Global energy management and automation vendor whose EcoStruxure platform and grid software are deployed by municipal utilities — adjacent to TKI's Energy Solutions and building-automation services in the German municipal market.
