Guglielmo

What Guglielmo does

Guglielmo S.r.l. is an Italian private wireless technology provider founded in 2004 in Taneto di Gattatico (Reggio Emilia), operating across a group of five entities with approximately 40 professionals and offices in Italy, the United States (Skokie, Illinois), and Albania (Durrës). The company builds and operates WiFi networks and identity infrastructure for enterprise, hospitality, retail, industrial, logistics, and public-sector customers, with a portfolio anchored by its OpenRoaming Identity Provider service, the Kymata industrial wireless subsidiary with patented EMI-DAS wire antennas and Leaky Feeder technology for large warehouses and freezer rooms, the Smart Locker parcel management subsidiary, and event connectivity services supporting cashless payments.

The underlying technology stack combines proprietary wired antenna systems (patented Kymata EMI-DAS and Leaky Feeder technologies) for RF coverage in metal-rich industrial environments, SmartMIMO and WiFi 6 deployments using TP-Link Omada and Cambium Networks hardware, cloud-managed network infrastructure, and an OpenRoaming / Passpoint identity layer that operates across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows 10/11. Certifications cited include GDPR compliance and Bureau Veritas. Distribution is dual-track: direct enterprise sales for major accounts, and an international Kymata distributor network spanning BENELUX, Turkey, the UK and Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Azerbaijan, and India.

Guglielmo's business model blends hardware sale (Kymata), recurring managed services (WiFi network services, OpenRoaming IDP, WiFi-as-a-Service for hospitality), and project-based professional services (event networks, payment infrastructure). Revenue mechanics include subscription/managed fees, annual SaaS contracts with usage-based cashback in hospitality, and one-off deployment revenue tied to large enterprise rollouts such as Enel's national store WiFi, Airbus's 35,000 sqm Spanish logistics hub, Azambuja's 112,000 sqm BREEAM-certified warehouse in Lisbon, the London Westminster public WiFi contract won in January 2025, and the Hotel Posta historic property in Reggio Emilia.
