Globo Group

What Globo Group does

Globo Group (legal name GLOBO GROUP S.A.) is an Argentine telecommunications infrastructure company headquartered in Sarandí, Avellaneda, Buenos Aires, with roughly 11 to 50 employees and more than 30 years of operating history in Argentina. The company designs, supplies, integrates, and commissions end-to-end telecommunications systems across four product families: passive and active RF equipment (antennas, BDAs, repeaters, active DAS, TETRA infrastructure, microwave links), fiber optic products and networks (cables, MTP/MPO modules, FTTH, hybrid FO+power), in-building and outdoor distributed antenna systems (DAS) for stadiums, airports, hospitals, highways, and rural zones, and critical communications solutions combining TETRA and LTE with CCTV and access control. It also operates a domestic manufacturing line for cable harnessing, feeder clamps, hybrid cables, RF filters, and fiber optic patchcords aligned with Argentine import substitution policy.

The company sells primarily through a direct B2B enterprise sales motion to three core customer groups: Argentine mobile network operators (Movistar, Claro, Personal, Nextel, Level 3, Cablevision); government and defense agencies (INVAP, CONAE, NA-SA, INTI, CEATSA, ARSAT, Argentine Navy, Tandanor); and major equipment vendors and system integrators (Ericsson, NEC, Huawei, ABB, Ezentis, Radiotronica, CIS Group, Grupo Cobra, among others). Globo Group monetizes through hardware sales and project-based professional services including site surveys, drive testing, system design, commissioning, optimization, acceptance testing, and ongoing maintenance. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are tendered on a project basis.

Globo Group's positioning is that of a multi-vendor systems integrator and specialist contractor rather than a product OEM, with project credentials spanning the ARSAT 1 and 2 satellites, 4,204-cable INVAP 3D radar deliveries, the Irizar icebreaker IMAC system, the Centro Cultural Néstor Kirchner, and the 2014 Brazil World Cup stadium DAS deployments at Arena Fonte Nova and Arena Pernambuco. The geographic footprint is concentrated in Argentina with historical cross-border execution in Brazil, and growth optionality is anchored on the energy/industrial vertical and the import-substitution manufacturing line.
