What Viking does
Viking S.R.L. is an Italian B2B telecommunications operator founded in 1996 and headquartered in Chiesina Uzzanese, providing dedicated carrier-grade connectivity services exclusively to enterprises, large businesses, and wholesale telecommunications operators across Italy. Its core offering is point-to-point connectivity delivered through a proprietary network combining carrier-grade microwave radio links, dedicated fiber optic circuits, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), and LEO satellite connectivity, with single-hop direct access to the national internet backbone. The product portfolio spans dedicated internet access (HiperNet, FiberGo, UpNet, LEO satellite), Layer 2 inter-site Ethernet circuits (Net-LAN, Fiber-LAN, Up-LAN, Managed Ethernet Bridge), business continuity solutions (Double Connection), voice services (SIP Trunking, 3CX Virtual PBX), and managed services including SD-WAN, Vikiguard proactive monitoring, Cloud Sicuro, and temporary event WiFi.
The business model is built on multi-year subscription contracts with custom feasibility studies delivered within 48 hours, 100% guaranteed minimum symmetrical bandwidth, SLAs, and 24/7 monitoring from an internal Network Operations Center. All installation, support, and monitoring is performed by in-house staff. Revenue is generated from five recurring streams: dedicated internet connectivity, Layer 2 circuits for multi-site enterprises and wholesale operators, VoIP/voice services, cloud and cybersecurity services, and wholesale last-mile capacity sold to other TLC operators. Distribution is entirely direct (field sales team, Area Managers, Project Managers) supplemented by a Partner Program for IT consultants and system integrators, plus wholesale relationships with national and international operators. Viking has no consumer or self-serve channel, no external institutional investors, and no parent company, operating as an independent SRL with sole-shareholder structure.

- Open Fiber: Italy's largest wholesale FTTH infrastructure operator. Already a strategic partner of Viking for combined fiber+microwave coverage; competes on fiber where overlap exists but complements Viking in digital-divide last-mile.
- Fastweb: Major Italian fixed-line and enterprise telecom operator (Swisscom-owned) providing fiber, mobile, cloud, and enterprise connectivity. Overlaps with Viking on enterprise dedicated connectivity but at much larger scale.
- Colt Technology Services: International enterprise-focused network operator offering dedicated Ethernet, wavelength, and SD-WAN services across Europe. Closest international analog to Viking's Layer 2 wholesale and enterprise carrier-grade connectivity model.
- BT Italia: Italian subsidiary of BT Group providing enterprise fixed connectivity, managed networks, and unified communications. Competes for multi-site Italian enterprise contracts alongside Viking.
