Tesacom

What Tesacom does

Tesacom (operating as Grupo Tesacom) is a privately held Latin American satellite telecommunications and Industrial IoT company founded approximately 25 years ago (c. 1999) and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with additional commercial offices in Santiago (Chile), Asunción (Paraguay), and Lima (Peru). The company designs, integrates, and operates connectivity solutions—including Starlink LEO broadband (with a proprietary management platform), multi-constellation satellite voice and data services (Iridium, Inmarsat, KVH, Globalstar), Industrial IoT telemetry, and GPS-based fleet tracking—for industrial and government customers operating in remote or infrastructure-poor environments across mining, oil & gas, energy, maritime, transportation/logistics, agriculture, and government/defense verticals.

The company's technology stack combines multi-vendor satellite capacity with two proprietary assets: the T.Data multi-tenant IoT platform (supporting MQTT, CoAP, HTTP, Modbus, DNP3, and OPC-UA, with OpenAPI 3.0 REST integration to SCADA/ERP/CRM systems) and the TwinDimension hardware line for telemetry/edge engineering (e.g., RIM1360 series). It also operates Tracking Ágil, a tiered GPS fleet-tracking service (Standard/Premium kits; 3/6/9/12-month subscription terms), and offers end-to-end 'Campamentos Remotos' deployments bundling Starlink with on-site networking and 24/7 support.

Tesacom's business model is hybrid: recurring revenue from subscription-based satellite connectivity and IoT-as-a-service, hardware sales of proprietary and third-party devices (including Iridium, Inmarsat, Orbcomm, Teltonika, and Globalstar units), and project-based professional services for large industrial deployments. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct enterprise engagement with specialized engineers in each country office, supplemented by a regional partner/reseller network. No public funding, ownership, or revenue figures have been disclosed; the company remains privately held with no evidence of institutional investment.
