What Telium does

Telium is a privately held Brazilian telecommunications and IT infrastructure provider founded in 2004, headquartered in São Paulo with regional offices in Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre. The company serves medium-to-large Brazilian enterprises with an integrated portfolio across three pillars: Connectivity (dedicated internet links, MPLS VPNs, Lan-2-Lan, Cloud Connect to 60+ providers across 20+ markets, and temporary event links), Outsourcing/Data Center (colocation, cloud services, dedicated servers, equipment rental, PABX-IP/VoIP telephony, infrastructure management, website hosting, Zimbra-based corporate email, email marketing, and online backup), and Security (Fortinet-based next-generation firewall, automated DDoS mitigation, Cysfera-partnered threat intelligence via TIA, and resale of Bitdefender, Kaspersky, and TrendMicro antivirus).

The company's technical foundation rests on a proprietary national MPLS backbone with 500+ Points of Presence, six owned data centers with redundant power and dual-approach fiber interconnections, and peering with all major Brazilian internet exchanges and telecom operators. This owned infrastructure supports a 100% guaranteed symmetric bandwidth SLA on dedicated links and enables differentiated services such as backup links at roughly one-third the cost of dual full circuits and DDoS mitigation within five seconds.

Telium operates a recurring subscription revenue model with multi-year enterprise contracts on connectivity and managed services, complemented by publicly priced SMB offerings (hosting R$23.50-R$94.30/month, email mailboxes R$6.30-R$12.60, email marketing R$50-R$925/month). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales through São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Porto Alegre offices, a 24x7x365 NOC, a tiered Programa de Canais reseller program (Indicador, Prata, Ouro, Diamante) with recurring commissions up to 10%, self-serve online activation for smaller services, and event sponsorships including Abrint and SECOPS summits in 2026. Leadership includes CEO Nivaldo Custódio and CIO Daniel Francisco Sachet; the company is private with no disclosed institutional investors or M&A activity.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Scala Data Centers: Scala Data Centers is a hyperscale-focused Brazilian colocation provider with edge presence across multiple Brazilian cities. It competes with Telium's colocation and cloud-connect services for enterprise workloads requiring distributed presence.
• Ascenty: Ascenty is one of Latin America's largest data center operators, providing colocation and cloud connectivity to enterprise customers in Brazil. While more focused on wholesale data center, it competes with Telium in colocation and cloud interconnect.
• Logicalis Brasil: Logicalis is a global IT services and managed solutions provider with strong Brazil operations across cloud, networking, and cybersecurity. It competes with Telium's Outsourcing and Security bundles for enterprise digital-transformation budgets.

Direct peers

• Embratel (Claro Empresas): Embratel, owned by América Móvil/Claro, is Brazil's largest enterprise telecom carrier offering dedicated links, MPLS, cloud, data center, and managed security to corporate clients. It competes head-to-head with Telium for medium and large enterprise contracts in Brazil.
• Algar Telecom: Algar Telecom is a Brazilian regional incumbent with a strong B2B focus on MPLS, dedicated internet, cloud, and managed services, particularly in the interior states. Its integrated connectivity + IT services portfolio closely mirrors Telium's go-to-market.
• Oi Soluções (Oi): Oi Soluções is the enterprise division of Oi, offering MPLS, dedicated links, data center, cloud, and cybersecurity to Brazilian corporates. Despite Oi's financial restructuring, the unit remains a scaled competitor with overlapping product mix.
• Vivo Empresas (Telefônica Brasil): Vivo Empresas is the B2B arm of Telefónica Brasil, providing fiber, MPLS, cloud, IoT, and cybersecurity to corporate customers nationwide. Its scale, brand, and bundling with mobile services make it a primary competitive threat to Telium.

Broad incumbents

• Lumen Technologies (Brazil operations): Lumen (formerly CenturyLink) is a global tier-1 carrier with enterprise services in Brazil including dedicated internet, MPLS, wavelengths, and managed security. It targets similar multinational and large-enterprise clients with broader geographic reach.
• TIM Brasil (Enterprise): TIM Brasil is primarily a mobile operator but is expanding its B2B segment with fiber, IoT, and cloud offerings to corporate clients. Its national footprint and carrier relationships make it an emerging incumbent in enterprise connectivity.

Regional players

• Brisanet: Brisanet is a regional fiber operator in Brazil's Northeast that has expanded into enterprise connectivity and cloud services. Its focus on regional SMB markets complements—rather than directly overlaps—Telium's South/Southeast B2B stronghold.
