Global Network

What Global Network does

Global Network is a French telecommunications operator headquartered in Croissy-Beaubourg, Île-de-France, founded in 2019 to serve very small and small businesses (TPE/PME) in the Paris region. The company delivers an integrated portfolio covering fixed telephony, hosted VoIP/PABX, mobile plans, internet access, dematerialized lines, managed cybersecurity (antivirus, antispam, secure VPN), and 4G/5G backup connectivity.

The offering is built on a reseller-and-managed-services model rather than owned infrastructure: Global Network resells mobile and fixed connectivity via partnerships with Orange and Bouygues Telecom, then layers its own managed services, security, and support on top. The firm emphasizes European data hosting and the absence of third-country subcontractors as part of its positioning toward security-conscious SMB and local-government buyers.

Commercially, Global Network operates with a very small team (5 declared employees) and minimal capitalization (€8,000 share capital), running a relationship-led, boutique go-to-market focused on the Île-de-France region. Pricing and contract structures are not disclosed in the available material, and the company has not publicly disclosed revenue, funding, or customer-count metrics.

Broad incumbents
