BC Network

What BC Network does

BC Network S.A. is a privately held Costa Rican IT solutions integrator and value-added reseller founded over 20 years ago and headquartered in San José. The company designs and deploys custom IT infrastructure combining third-party platforms—Aruba/HPE networking (Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, switching), Samsung digital signage and MagicINFO content management, Zyxel firewalls, GrandStream telephony, Jabra conferencing, Optoma projectors, and IoT devices from Spin Technologies—augmented by partner solutions such as Situm indoor mapping, Navori AQUAJI audience analytics, and Zoox Smart Wi-Fi for retail and hospitality. Its portfolio also includes proprietary EV charging stations (NKR series) with OCPP compatibility.

BC Network serves enterprise, mid-market, and SMB customers in Costa Rica across retail, hospitality, education, healthcare, government, and security verticals, with additional adjacent offerings in education technology and EV charging infrastructure. Go-to-market is consultative and direct, featuring on-site visits, custom project proposals ('Presupuesto a la medida'), WhatsApp outreach, and a self-serve e-commerce storefront for Aruba Instant On products and EV chargers. The company also runs the BC Network Beyond thought-leadership event series on LinkedIn Live in partnership with Zoox and Cloudbeds.

Revenue is generated through four streams: hardware resale (networking equipment, Samsung displays, EV chargers, IoT sensors), professional implementation services (cabling, data center setup, Wi-Fi deployment), managed services and subscriptions (Aruba Central, MagicINFO monitoring), and recurring IoT connectivity. Pricing is largely quote-based for enterprise solutions, while SMB hardware is available through online channels with installment payment options.
