What Avatel Telecom does

Avatel Telecom S.A. is a privately held Spanish telecommunications operator founded in 2011 in Costa del Sol and headquartered in Alcobendas, Madrid. The company self-describes as the 5th largest national fiber operator in Spain, specializing in fiber optic (FTTH), WiMAX wireless broadband, and mobile services (as a Full MVNO since 2021) targeted at rural and semi-urban populations underserved by incumbent carriers (Telefónica, Vodafone, Orange). Its network reaches 2,600+ populations covering 8.5 million real estate units, supported by 300+ physical retail stores and a workforce of 1,800+ employees.

The core product portfolio includes four consumer tariff tiers (Conecta Fibra, Conecta Sencillo, Conecta Doble, Conecta Sin Límites) delivering up to 1,000 Mbps symmetric fiber with optional mobile lines and Amazon Prime bundling, plus WiMAX for areas without fiber. Proprietary technology includes the CLICtv OTT television platform (150+ channels, 4K decoder), Conecta Mesh WiFi 6 extender (Huawei OptiXstar K562e-10-based), AI-powered chatbot/voicebot customer service, and a mobile self-care application. Business products comprise Solo Fibra Empresas, Fibra y Móvil Empresas, and Centralita Virtual (cloud PBX).

Avatel operates a subscription-based revenue model with 12-month promotional pricing followed by standard rates, supported by 175 integrated regional operators acquired since 2017. Distribution is omnichannel: company-owned retail stores, direct website sales, the 1790 phone sales line, and a field sales team for enterprise customers. The company is a beneficiary of Spain's UNICO government broadband and 5G backhaul programs (292M EUR total) funded by EU NextGenerationEU. In 2025, Inveready joined as a strategic financial partner, marking a new growth phase.
