What Telco Pro Services does

Telco Pro Services, a.s. (TPS) is a Czech wholesale telecommunications operator and wholly-owned subsidiary of the ČEZ, a.s. energy conglomerate. Founded in April 2006 and headquartered in Prague, TPS owns and operates one of the country's largest private optical networks — exceeding 8,500 km of fiber — with endpoints concentrated in energy-sector facilities such as transformers, switching stations, and power plants, giving the network topological diversity from incumbent Czech carriers. The company serves dual markets: it acts as the internal telecom operator for the ČEZ Group (including support for power-plant and distribution-dispatching control systems), and it sells wholesale connectivity to other telecom operators, ISPs, large enterprises, and the public sector. Residential customers are reached through wholly-owned subsidiaries operating under the ČEZNET brand (Telco Infrastructure s.r.o. and ČEZNET s.r.o.), built up via a sustained regional ISP acquisition program since 2021.

The product portfolio is centered on carrier-grade connectivity services: TPS Lambda (DWDM wavelengths up to 100 Gbps with 99.6% SLA, with a 600 Gbit/s backbone under construction for 2026), TPS Ethernet Line (point-to-point and point-to-multipoint data lines from 2 Mbps to 10 Gbps), TPS Internet (symmetric, un-aggregated ISP connectivity), TPS Dark Fiber (lease of unlit G.652/G.657 fiber), TPS Datové Centrum (a TIER III-certified data center with direct peering to NIX.CZ at 100 Gb/s and NIX.SK at 10 Gb/s, plus transit via Telia and Cogent), and IP-based voice services with SIP interconnect to the PSTN. Complementary revenue comes from authorized resale of VIAVI and Boonton measurement instruments and Skylane Optics optical transceivers. Customers include T-Mobile CZ, Vodafone CZ, ČEPS, Dial Telecom, UPC ČR, České Radiokomunikace, Quantcom, ČD-Telematika, NETIA, and ČEZ Group entities, supported by 24/7 NOC, DDoS protection, NBÚ security clearance up to 'Confidential', and ISO 27001/27701/22301 certifications.

The business model is predominantly recurring subscription revenue on multi-year enterprise contracts priced by bandwidth, with quote-based pricing and no public list rates. Distribution is sales-led through named Key Account Managers (Miloš Krška, František Mašek, Ing. Gabriel Flasik) targeting operators and large accounts, complemented by direct enterprise sales and the ČEZNET retail channel. The company has executed at least nine regional ISP acquisitions between 2021 and 2024, absorbing more than 76,000 residential/SMB customers and significant FTTH infrastructure in eastern Bohemia, the Zlín region, Jeseníky, and the Česko-třebovsko area, while continuously modernizing the national backbone (25x100G routes deployed in 2023, tenfold ISP capacity upgrade to 100 Gbps in 2022). A statutory notice issued in March 2026 under Czech transformation law indicates an in-progress corporate restructuring within the ČEZ Group.
