Telco Cuba Inc

What Telco Cuba Inc does

Solidus Communications, Inc. (formerly Telco Cuba, Inc.; OTC: SLDC), headquartered in Ormond Beach, Florida and incorporated in 2008, is a facilities-based telecommunications and technology company providing integrated broadband internet, cable television, digital telephone, and managed IT services to residential, commercial, and government customers across rural and underserved Central Florida markets. Core delivery technology includes Fixed Wireless Access via Tarana Wireless G1 platforms operating on 5GHz and 3GHz CBRS spectrum — capable of up to 800 Mbps wireless downloads without fiber buildout costs — complemented by seven registered/licensed earth stations, coaxial and Ethernet infrastructure, and fiber assets under the Advanced Satellite Systems, Wireless Florida, and WiFIBER Corp brands. The company holds a 10-year municipal franchise with the City of Hawthorne (with a 5-year extension option) and pursues grant-funded rural broadband expansion in partnership with Widelity, Inc.

The company operates four wholly-owned business units: Advanced Satellite Systems (legacy ISP/digital telephony serving Edgewater, Volusia County, and Flagler Beach since 1985), WiFIBER Corp (a Chiefland-area FWA ISP acquired October 2023 and subsequently rescinded March 2024 due to unmet performance metrics and funding shortfalls), Illumivation Labs (a Florida-incorporated technology incubator developing and commercializing IP in aerospace, aeronautical, and oceanographic industries, including a USPTO provisional patent for an industrial/military triggering technology), and ChefLumi (an NSF-backed K-5 STEM/Arts culinary-integrated educational technology platform acquired January 2026 and launched nationwide in March 2026). Revenue streams comprise recurring residential and commercial internet/cable subscriptions, communication tower leasing on infrastructure acquired from WiFIBER, subscription-based institutional licensing of ChefLumi to K-12 schools, nonprofits, and government agencies, IP licensing through Illumivation Labs, and managed IT services.

Go-to-market combines sales-led municipal franchise negotiations (City of Hawthorne, prospective Florida electrical services provider), field sales to residential and commercial customers, and institutional B2B licensing of ChefLumi nationwide. The company is publicly traded on OTC PINK, with marketing channels including NEWMEDIAWIRE press releases, X/Twitter, OTC Markets disclosures, and direct municipal government engagement. Strategic priorities include the recently launched ChefLumi platform, IP commercialization through Illumivation Labs, and an anticipated NASDAQ uplisting supported by August 2025 share structure changes including retirement of two preferred share classes.
