Kabelplus

What Kabelplus does

Kabelplus GmbH is a regional Austrian telecommunications provider headquartered in Maria Enzersdorf, Niederösterreich, founded in 1978 and operating as a subsidiary of energy and telecom conglomerate EVN AG. The company delivers a unified quadruple-play portfolio — broadband internet (kabelNET, delivered via hybrid DOCSIS cable and FTTH fiber), cable television (kabelTV, approximately 130 digital channels in HD), IPTV streaming (MAGIC TV with time-shifted viewing and video-on-demand), mobile telephony tariffs, and fixed-line telephony — to residential and business customers across the two federal states of Niederösterreich and Burgenland.

The underlying technology stack consists of a hybrid cable and fiber-optic (FTTH) network infrastructure, an IPTV platform (MAGIC TV) delivered via set-top-box, web, and mobile applications with an AI-based content recommendation engine (provided by technology partner Ocilion IPTV Technologies GmbH), and Open Access wholesale fiber infrastructure. Kabelplus has invested in active FTTH expansion across 100+ municipalities, materially accelerated by the December 2025 acquisition of rural fiber specialist Speed Connect Austria. The company is ISO 27001 certified (information security, spring 2025) and ISO 14001 certified (environmental management, June 2025), and operates physical service centers in St. Pölten, Zwettl, and other regional locations to support field sales, installation, and customer support.

Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based recurring charges on internet, TV, IPTV, mobile, and telephony services, complemented by hardware sales (refurbished phones via refurbed partnership, AVM networking equipment), LTE internet for unserved areas, NET Home Service professional installation, connection fees (Anschlussentgelt), and developer/housing-construction services (Wohnbau). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to a 24/7 service hotline, website, WhatsApp Business, video consultation, or physical service centers. The go-to-market is sales-led and regionally concentrated, targeting the dual-state service territory through direct sales, channel partners, and a customer-feedback co-creation program (Mein Feedback) operated jointly with parent EVN AG.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Kabel Braunau: Small Austrian regional cable and fiber provider offering internet, TV, and telephony in Upper Austria. Closely comparable to Kabelplus as a regional cable operator with FTTH ambitions, though smaller in scale and geography.

Broad incumbents

• Magenta Telekom (T-Mobile Austria): Second-largest Austrian telecom operator (formed from merger of T-Mobile Austria and UPC Austria) offering converged fixed/mobile/TV services. Competes with Kabelplus across broadband, cable TV, IPTV, and mobile bundles, with a strong HFC/cable heritage in regions overlapping Kabelplus's territory.
• Drei (Hutchison Drei Austria): Major Austrian mobile and fixed-line operator offering broadband, TV, and mobile services. Overlaps with Kabelplus in broadband and bundled mobile offerings within Niederösterreich and Burgenland, though less cable-centric.
• A1 Telekom Austria: Austria's largest national telecom operator offering fixed broadband, mobile, TV, and bundled services nationwide. Directly competes with Kabelplus in Niederösterreich and Burgenland across the same product portfolio (internet, TV, mobile) but with materially larger scale and nationwide footprint.

Others

• EVN AG: Austrian energy and telecom conglomerate that is Kabelplus's parent company. Included as a peer to reflect shared customer base, strategic alignment, and capital provider relationship that shapes Kabelplus's operating model.
• Ocilion IPTV Technologies GmbH: Austrian IPTV technology vendor powering Kabelplus's MAGIC TV platform. Listed as a peer because it is the technology backbone of Kabelplus's differentiated IPTV offering and an adjacent ecosystem participant.

Regional players

• LIWEST: Regional cable and fiber operator headquartered in Linz providing broadband, TV, and telephony across Upper Austria. Closely mirrors Kabelplus's hybrid cable/fiber HFC heritage and triple-play offering within a defined regional footprint.
• Salzburg AG: Austrian regional energy and telecom utility serving Salzburg and surrounding areas with broadband, TV, mobile, and fiber. Highly comparable to Kabelplus as a regional Austrian utility-affiliated telco providing FTTH and bundled services within a defined federal-state territory.
• Energie AG Oberösterreich Telekom: Regional Austrian utility-telecom providing fiber internet, TV, and telephony primarily in Upper Austria. Closely comparable business model — utility-owned regional operator with FTTH expansion — though serving a different Austrian state.
• Stadtwerke Kapfenberg / regional utilities: Austrian municipal utility telecom providing fiber and broadband to localized areas. Comparable as a small-footprint Austrian fiber operator but serving Styria rather than Kabelplus's core states.
