Alares

What Alares does

Alares Internet is a Brazilian regional internet service provider headquartered in São Paulo and founded in 2002. The company delivers broadband internet, fiber optic connectivity, TV, and landline services to consumer and business customers across multiple Brazilian regions, operating a distributed regional footprint with a workforce of 1,001-5,000 employees.

The company's service portfolio combines terrestrial fiber and broadband infrastructure with a newly added satellite internet offering distributed through an exclusive commercial partnership with Starlink (SpaceX), formalized in April 2026 with an official launch in May 2026. Under this arrangement, Alares resells Starlink's satellite connectivity to Brazilian consumers in areas lacking fixed broadband or stable mobile signals, while Starlink retains ownership of the satellite technology stack. The company is also consolidating regional telecom assets through its June 2026 agreement to acquire the Oquei Telecom group, comprising Oquei Telecom, Oquei Tecnologia, Oquei BR Telecom, and Oquei BR Tecnologia, for BRL 189.0 million (BRL 75.6 million at closing plus the remainder across 10 semi-annual installments).

Alares generates revenue primarily through recurring subscription fees across its consumer and SMB internet, TV, and landline plans, with public pricing not disclosed. The go-to-market approach is geographically segmented and channel-driven, combining direct regional ISP distribution with a Starlink reseller channel targeting underserved Brazilian areas. The company's strategic posture in 2026 reflects aggressive expansion through both partnership (Starlink) and acquisition (Oquei Telecom group), aimed at consolidating the Brazilian regional telecom market and entering satellite-based connectivity as a complementary offering to its terrestrial assets.

Direct peers

• Brisanet: Brazilian regional fiber ISP focused on the Northeast and underserved markets; directly comparable to Alares as a fiber-led regional broadband operator pursuing consolidation and rural expansion.
• Algar Telecom: Brazilian regional telecom incumbent serving the Triângulo Mineiro and other states with fiber, voice, and enterprise services; closely comparable in regional fixed-line ISP positioning and enterprise/residential mix.
• Americanet: Brazilian regional fiber ISP operating in multiple states, focused on underserved mid-sized cities; comparable to Alares in fiber-led regional broadband model and customer profile.
• Unifique (Desktop): Brazilian regional telecom (formerly Desktop) offering fiber internet, TV, and telephony across multiple states; directly comparable in product mix, regional ISP model, and acquisition-driven growth strategy.

Broad incumbents

• Claro Brasil (América Móvil): Major Brazilian quad-play provider with national fiber, mobile, TV, and fixed-line services; competes with Alares for residential broadband customers across Brazil but at much larger scale.
• TIM Brasil: Major Brazilian mobile operator expanding into fixed broadband (TIM Live) and fiber; a broad incumbent peer that competes with Alares on bundled broadband and convergence offerings.
• Vivo (Telefônica Brasil): Largest Brazilian telecom operator offering fiber, mobile, TV, and landline nationwide; comparable on product portfolio and end-customer base, but at vastly larger scale and broader geographic reach than Alares.
• Oi (Oi S.A.): Major Brazilian incumbent telecom offering fiber broadband, pay-TV, and landline; operates in many of the same regional markets Alares targets, but as a national-scale carrier in restructuring.

Others

• Starlink (SpaceX): SpaceX-owned satellite internet provider and Alares' principal partner; relevant as an ecosystem participant because Starlink's commercial strategy directly determines Alares' satellite-internet economics and reach in Brazil.

Emerging players

• Hughes do Brasil (Hughes Network Systems): Brazilian satellite internet operator serving underserved and rural areas; directly comparable to Alares' Starlink partnership offering, competing for the same connectivity-gap customer base.
