What AVONET does

AVONET, s.r.o. is a privately held Czech regional telecommunications company headquartered in Zlín, founded around 1995–1996 and operating for approximately 30 years. The company provides internet, television, mobile, and ancillary IT services primarily to residential and business customers in the Zlínský kraj (Zlín Region), with broader Czech Republic reach delivered through wholesale partner networks rather than fully owned infrastructure.

The company's core offering is a multi-technology internet access portfolio spanning GPON/FTTH fiber (Internet Sprint, up to 2000/1000 Mb/s) deployed in residential buildings, municipal cable TV infrastructure in Březnice, Pozlovice, Halenkovice, and Žlutava, WiFi-based wireless (mojeWiFi) coverage across 130+ Zlín region locations, DSL and Optical service over CETIN's wholesale fixed network, and Fixed LTE leveraging Vodafone's nationwide network of 4,500+ transmitters covering 99% of the Czech population. Television services are integrated through SledovaniTV (up to 200 channels, 168-hour catch-up, 6-device streaming) and Skylink Live TV, typically bundled with internet subscriptions.

AVONET generates revenue primarily through recurring monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual subscription fees for internet, TV, and mobile tariffs, supplemented by hardware sales and rentals (TP-Link and ZyXEL routers, DSL/cable modems, set-top boxes, Huawei CPE), installation/activation fees, security reselling (ESET antivirus, Sticky Password), and a broader business services portfolio including UTM firewall, DDoS protection, managed IT infrastructure, PBX, teleconferencing, web hosting, VPS, server housing, and SSL certificates. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the company website, call center, and field installation teams, with a dedicated B2B sales channel for business customers and wholesale ISP partnerships. The go-to-market is regionally concentrated, with promotional entry pricing at 299 CZK/month on a 12-month commitment and customer acquisition supported by a referral program with competitor-switch assistance.
