Gtd

What Gtd does

Gtd is a privately held telecommunications and technology company headquartered in Huechuraba, Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile, founded around 1979–1980 and led by CEO Fernando Gana. The company operates an integrated infrastructure platform spanning 7 countries (Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Spain, and Italy), including more than 80,000 km of optical fiber, over 6,000 km of submarine cable, 10 data centers (6 of which are Tier III-certified by the Uptime Institute), 1,000+ edge nodes, and roughly 18,000 m² of white space. On top of this physical layer, Gtd sells enterprise connectivity (MPLS, dedicated fiber, OTN DWDM, VSAT, radio links), colocation and white-room data center services, multicloud connectivity, cybersecurity, IaaS/DRaaS/BaaS, SD-WAN, and digital transformation services, with a dedicated wholesale division (Mayoristas) supplying dark fiber, capacity, tower and pole infrastructure to other telecom operators and ISPs.

Gtd's commercial model is predominantly subscription-based and recurring, with custom quote-based pricing on annual contracts; telco infrastructure leasing (towers and poles) generates a licensing/royalty-style stream on top. The company serves a reported 35,000+ enterprise clients and 285,000 residential subscribers across verticals including mining, retail, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, transport and logistics, and government, while the wholesale arm serves 250+ operators. Distribution runs through direct enterprise sales teams in each country, country-specific websites, and event-driven channels (ITW, Capacity LATAM, Andicom, America Digital, PIT Chile). Compliance credentials include ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 20000-1, SOC 1 and SOC 2, PCI-DSS, Uptime Institute Tier III, LEED Gold, and an ENGIE renewable energy certification, supporting sales in regulated verticals.
