What Fiber Direct does
Fiber Direct is a privately held Dutch fiber optic infrastructure specialist headquartered in Enschede, Netherlands, founded in 2017. The company designs, builds, manages, and maintains fiber optic networks on business and industrial parks across Eastern Netherlands, with active deployment in 12+ locations including Apeldoorn, Deventer, Barneveld, Enschede (Euregio and Marssteden), Rijssen, Wehl, Doetinchem, Nijkerk, Haaksbergen, Ede, and Hengelo (Twentekanaal). Fiber Direct explicitly positions itself as an 'independent specialist' rather than an ISP, acting as the infrastructure coordinator ('regisseur') on each business park and making its network available to a curated set of local channel partners rather than selling directly to end customers.
The core technology is physical fiber optic infrastructure layered with the NDIX platform, which enables multiple services and providers to ride a single fiber connection. Service capabilities delivered through partner channels include business internet up to 10 Gbps, multi-site private networking, VoIP, IPTV, cloud connectivity, and 4G failover with IP preservation, supported by 24/7 NOC operations. Partner ecosystem spans ISP providers (Weserve, Qonnected, Hype Automatisering, Altios Cloud Experts) and regional datacenters (InterDC in Twente and Achterhoek, ITB2 Datacenters in Apeldoorn and Deventer).
The business model is a B2B2B managed-services arrangement: Fiber Direct generates revenue from infrastructure services enabling connectivity on business parks and makes that capacity available to selected local ICT partners, who in turn sell total ICT solutions to end businesses and, in some cases, to municipalities and park management organizations for collective deployment projects. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has no external funding rounds, no disclosed parent company, no named management team, and no disclosed revenue figures; headcount is reported in the 11-50 range.

Fiber Direct competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- NDIX: NDIX is the network platform partner that Fiber Direct relies on for multi-provider service delivery. It operates a similar Dutch regional neutral-host fiber model, providing connectivity to multiple ISPs and ICT providers over a single fiber — directly comparable in business model and target market to Fiber Direct.
Broad incumbents
- Eurofiber: Eurofiber is a large Dutch and Belgian fiber network operator running an open, neutral-host model serving businesses, governments and carriers. It is comparable to Fiber Direct as a Dutch fiber infrastructure operator but operates at a national scale with enterprise and wholesale customers.
- Glaspoort: Glaspoort is a joint venture between KPN and APG rolling out fiber across the Netherlands, including business parks. It competes for the same collective-deployment and municipality tender opportunities that Fiber Direct targets, but at much greater scale and capital base.
- Delta Fiber: Delta Fiber is a large Dutch fiber operator deploying FTTH and business fiber across the Netherlands through brands including Delta and Caiway. Comparable to Fiber Direct in core fiber business but operates a multi-brand, multi-region platform with significantly more capital and customers.
- KPN: KPN is the incumbent Dutch telecom operator and a major builder of fiber to business parks. It is comparable as a wired telecom competitor for business park connectivity but operates nationally across consumer, SMB and enterprise segments with bundled telecom/IT offerings.
- Odido (formerly T-Mobile Netherlands): Odido is a major Dutch mobile and fixed telecom provider (rebranded from T-Mobile NL) with growing fiber and business connectivity services. Comparable to Fiber Direct as a Dutch business connectivity provider, but at national scale and with mobile/wireless integration.
- Ziggo: Ziggo is the dominant Dutch cable operator (part of VodafoneZiggo) providing internet and TV to consumers and increasingly business customers. Comparable to Fiber Direct as a Dutch last-mile connectivity competitor but built on HFC rather than fiber and serving a much broader customer base.
Regional players
- CAIW (Caiway): CAIW/Caiway is a Dutch regional fiber and cable operator active in specific provinces with business connectivity offerings. Comparable to Fiber Direct as a regional Dutch fiber/cable operator, but with overlapping territory in places like Westland and Friesland rather than direct competition in East Netherlands.
- Glasvezel buitenaf: Glasvezel buitenaf is a Dutch initiative rolling out fiber in rural and underserved business/industrial areas outside the major cities. Comparable to Fiber Direct's business-park focus and municipality-led deployment model, but targets rural Netherlands rather than the East-NL parks Fiber Direct serves.
Emerging players
- Helden van het Glas: Helden van het Glas is a small Dutch fiber operator deploying on local business parks with a partner-driven model similar to Fiber Direct. Comparable as a niche, regional fiber specialist serving business parks, though typically active in different Dutch regions.
