What Gigared does

Gigared S.A. is an Argentine regional telecommunications operator headquartered at Donado 840, Buenos Aires, that delivers Triple Play services — broadband Internet (100–1,000 Mbps), Cable Television (Digital and HD packages), and IP Telephony — to residential and enterprise customers across seven provinces (Buenos Aires, CABA, Chaco, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Misiones, and Santa Fe). Its core technology stack is a hybrid HFC + FTTH network with DOCSIS and GePON overlays, owned and operated end-to-end, spanning more than 3,000 km of interurban fiber along the Paraná River corridor and 1,100+ km of urban fiber with a minimum 860 MHz HFC bandwidth; a 2,000 m² purpose-built datacenter in Buenos Aires anchors enterprise colocation and the Gigacloud virtual server platform. Beyond the core triple-play, the product portfolio includes the GigaredPlay OTT streaming app (Basic 20 signals and Full 75 signals) deployed across web, iOS, Android, Smart TVs, Roku, and Chromecast; GigaCam indoor/outdoor security cameras accessed through the V380 app; Gigacloud cloud servers; shared hosting and Secure Cloud Mail; and a Pack Negocios enterprise bundle pairing fiber with commercial telephony, fixed public IP, and shared hosting. A dedicated enterprise sales motion (asking for company size, employees, and needs across Colocation, Dedicated Servers, Cloud, Data Links, Internet Links) coexists with a residential DTC motion via branch offices (sucursales), the Espacio Giga self-service portal, and call center/inside sales. Revenue is generated through subscription recurring monthly fees on residential and enterprise plans, with 12-month minimum commitments, debit-automatic 10% discounts for 6 months, and a wholesale ISP/carrier channel reselling bandwidth on the interurban fiber. Founded in 2000-2001 by Argentine professionals and one of the first operators in Argentina and South America to offer Triple Play, Gigared employs 101-250 people and operates as a privately held sociedad anónima with no disclosed parent company and a single institutional funding event (Riverwood Capital, 2017, undisclosed amount).
