What Linkt does

Linkt SAS is a French B2B alternative telecom operator headquartered in Courbevoie (La Défense) and operating as a subsidiary of the Altitude Group. Founded in 2017, the company targets mid-sized companies (ETI), large enterprises, and public-sector entities (collectivités), selling through a direct field sales force organized into 20+ regional Business Units across France and via the UGAP public procurement framework. Linkt does not own telecom infrastructure; instead it operates as an aggregator, API-interconnecting with multiple French operators and technology providers to deliver the best-fit connectivity per site under a single relationship.

The 2025 acquisition of Capfi 6ème Sens added a 24/7 sovereign Security Operations Center certified France Cybersecurity, with member status in the Hexatrust consortium and exclusive provider status on the CANUT Lot 4 public-sector cybersecurity framework (2025–2029).

Revenue is generated through recurring subscriptions for managed connectivity, managed cybersecurity, and hosted communications services, plus project-based revenue from custom network design, integration, audit, and managed IT outsourcing. Pricing is quote-based per site and per service, billed annually, with no public pricing disclosed. Customers number 1,000+ across retail, food/agro, transport, hospitality, legal, insurance, education, and public-sector verticals, with operational metrics including a 96.5%+ on-time deployment rate and a 3-minute average DDoS cleaning time. The legal entity is Linkt SAS with a registered share capital of €58,000,000 and RCS Paris registration 815 109 467.
