PETCOM

What PETCOM does

PETCOM is a Brazilian telecommunications infrastructure company founded in 1990, operating as a group comprising Peltier and Petcom. The company designs, manufactures, and deploys fiber optic networks (FTTH), electronic security systems (CFTV with facial recognition and license plate reading capabilities), wireless and SDH communication systems, and structured cabling infrastructure. Manufacturing takes place at a 5,000 m² facility in Santa Rita do Sapucaí, Minas Gerais (Vale da Eletrônica), where the company produces optical racks (DGOs), patch cords, data center optical lines, and indoor/outdoor FTTH cabinets. ISO 9001 certification covers the full scope from project design through manufacturing, deployment, and maintenance.

PETCOM holds SCM (Serviço de Comunicação Multimídia) and STFC (Serviço Telefônico Fixo Comutado) licenses, enabling it to operate as a licensed internet and telephony service provider. The company runs a Data Center in São Paulo and operational bases in Barueri and Praia Grande, supporting nationwide service delivery. Go-to-market is sales-led and field-based, targeting telecommunications operators, ISPs, federal/state/municipal governments, airport operators, sports venues, banks, data centers, and system integrators. Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales of optical components, turn-key managed services combining product supply with installation and maintenance, and professional services for electronic monitoring deployments. Public tender participation (concorrências e editais) is the primary commercial channel, leveraging in-house manufacturing cost advantages.

The company's client base includes Oi, Telebrás, Brazil's Ministry of Communications, state and municipal governments, and airport operators. Notable projects include 10,000+ km of optical fiber networks deployed, 200+ digital cities across four Brazilian regions, 6 World Cup stadium connectivity projects, 7 airport CFTV installations, and 5,000 monitoring cameras. Distribution relies on direct specialist outreach, email channels, and competitive bidding; the company maintains a minimal public digital presence with no social media or content marketing activity disclosed.
