DEPS

What DEPS does

DEPS is a Ukrainian telecommunications equipment distributor and system integrator headquartered in Kyiv and founded in 1991. The company operates as an authorized distributor for over 150 international technology brands, offering a catalog of more than 6,000 SKUs spanning fiber optic and copper cables, Ethernet switches, PON equipment, CWDM/DWDM systems, wireless networking gear, IP telephony, video surveillance, access control, IoT components, and solar energy equipment. Its technical capabilities center on system integration, equipment installation, maintenance, and an in-house fiber optic patch cord manufacturing facility with multi-stage quality control. Infrastructure includes 7,000 sqm of warehouse capacity and dedicated service and training centers, supporting 35 years of continuous operation in the Ukrainian market.

DEPS serves a customer base anchored in Ukrainian telecommunications operators and ISPs, where it claims its equipment supported 210,000 of the country's 300,000 new connections during 2017-2021. It also serves enterprise IT buyers seeking comprehensive infrastructure solutions, businesses requiring turnkey solar power stations, and SMBs purchasing networking and security equipment. The go-to-market combines direct B2B sales with dedicated account managers, a self-serve e-commerce portal with 24/7 ordering, and physical warehouse locations in Kyiv, Lviv, and Odesa. Delivery is fulfilled nationally through Nova Poshta and Delivery transport companies. The company has historical international reach into CIS markets (Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova) and EU/Asia, though it has suspended operations in Russia and Belarus in alignment with a product boycott.

Revenue is generated across five primary streams: equipment distribution (the largest, serving as one-time-sale resale of third-party products); system integration projects; turnkey solar power station services including design, installation, and maintenance; custom manufacturing of fiber optic patch cords and branded cable assemblies; and ancillary services through the DEPS Service Center (warranty and post-warranty repair) and DEPS Training Center (professional courses in telecom, IT, Python, Linux, and AI). Pricing is primarily quote-based for B2B equipment, with a structured discount system for regular partners and special conditions for large projects. The company also offers free product branding services on optical cables, twisted pair, and ONU terminals above minimum order quantities, with urgent branding options available at variable cost.
