Funknetz

What Funknetz does

Funknetz (operating entity: www.funknetz.at LE GmbH) is an Austrian internet service provider founded in 1999 and headquartered in Seyring (Gerasdorf), Austria. The company delivers constant and secure data transmission via point-to-point radio technology (Richtfunk), combined with fiber optic infrastructure, serving both business and residential customers primarily in Eastern Austria. Its core technology enables high-bandwidth connectivity independent of cable infrastructure, with guaranteed bandwidth ranging from 10 Mbit/s to 40 Gbit/s for business clients and up to 50 Mbit/s symmetric for residential subscribers, alongside a 99.7% technical availability guarantee across all tiers.

The product portfolio spans Internet-Anbindung (business connectivity), Standort-Vernetzung (multi-site networking), Wireless-LAN-Lösungen, Backup-Lösungen (two-provider redundancy), Network Operation Center (proactive monitoring with remote intervention), and Service Level Agreement packages for enterprises. For consumers, Funknetz offers FUNKNETZ@Home 25 (€49/month) and FUNKNETZ@Home 50 (€69/month) on 24-month contracts. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly subscriptions, with installation fees billed separately and hardware provided on loan during the contract term. Professional services, including installation, consulting, and out-of-hours support, are billed per price list.

The go-to-market motion is consultative direct sales: business clients receive tailored solutions with custom quotes based on site assessments, while residential customers use downloadable contract forms submitted via email or post. Funknetz operates as a brand under Jumper GmbH (a fiber-optic specialist) following a strategic partnership established in 2020, combining Richtfunk expertise with fiber capabilities. The company is led by managing director Manfred Simon and runs with 11-50 employees, reflecting a regionally focused niche operator rather than a national-scale ISP.

Broad incumbents

• Hutchison Drei Austria: Austrian fixed and mobile operator serving residential and business customers nationwide with broadband and mobile products. Competes with Funknetz for the same retail and SME connectivity customers in eastern Austria but bundles mobile and quad-play services Funknetz does not.
• Magenta Telekom: T-Mobile Austria–derived fixed/mobile operator providing retail broadband, fiber, and B2B services across Austria, including eastern regions where Funknetz operates. Overlaps on retail ISP and enterprise connectivity but offers a much broader portfolio (5G mobile, TV, IT services).
• A1 Telekom Austria: Austria's largest fixed-line and mobile operator offering retail broadband, fiber, and enterprise connectivity nationwide. Directly competes with Funknetz for retail internet and B2B connectivity in eastern Austria but operates at vastly greater scale with mobile, TV, and cloud adjacencies that Funknetz does not offer.

Regional players

• LIWEST: Regional Austrian ISP based in Upper Austria (Linz area) offering cable/fiber internet, TV, and B2B services with a similar blended retail+SMB go-to-market. Comparable in positioning but geographically separate from Funknetz's eastern Austrian footprint.
• Citycom Telekommunikation: Graz-based Austrian regional ISP offering fiber and connectivity services to residential and business customers in Styria. Similar regional-and-B2B-leaning operating model but in a geographically distinct Austrian state from Funknetz's eastern footprint.
• Salzburg AG: Utility-owned Austrian regional telco providing fiber, cable internet, and B2B connectivity primarily in the Salzburg region. Comparable in role (regional incumbent ISP+utility) and service mix, but operates in a distinct Austrian geography from Funknetz.

Direct peers

• Kabelplus: EVN-owned cable and fiber ISP serving residential and business customers primarily in Burgenland, Lower Austria, and parts of eastern Austria — overlapping Funknetz's service area. Provides comparable retail broadband, B2B connectivity, and managed services, with cable/fiber rather than Richtfunk technology.
