What Netfos does

Netfos, a commercial trade name of Foschi Impianti s.n.c., is an Italian Internet Service Provider headquartered in Perignano (Pisa), Tuscany. Founded in 2007 as a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP), the company initially deployed point-to-multipoint radio infrastructure under municipal approval from Ponsacco to deliver broadband to underserved premises in the Valdera area where major telecom operators had not built fiber or ADSL coverage. In 2022 Netfos expanded its portfolio to include FTTH and FTTC fiber connections, extending service availability across the entire Italian territory alongside its legacy wireless footprint. The firm employs 35 people and operates as a privately held partnership with no disclosed external investment.

The company's technology stack combines owned wireless last-mile infrastructure (built on Cambium Networks and MikroTik radio equipment) with fiber resale partnerships and an integrated cloud-delivered Virtual PBX (Centralino Virtuale). Core connectivity products include Netfos WiFi (WDSL wireless broadband from €19.90/month) and Netfos Fibra (FTTC/FTTH fiber plans starting at €35/month residential / €29.90/month business). A combined WiFi+Fibra tier (WiFibra Sicura at €49.90/month, Sicurissima with UPS at €54.88/month) provides automatic failover between fiber and wireless. For business customers, Netfos bundles VoIP lines, virtual fax, Numero Verde toll-free numbers, port forwarding, PEC certified email, and a virtual PBX with hotel and call-center modules — reselling Snom (primary), Yealink and AVM/FritzBox endpoints. Hardware (routers, UPS, powerline adapters, IP phones) is provided under rental (comodato d'uso), with one-time activation fees of €99–€190 per connection and 24-month minimum contracts with automatic renewal.

Netfos monetizes almost exclusively through recurring monthly subscriptions plus one-time activation fees, distributed via its website (netfos.it), phone sales (0587 615100), and a regional dealer channel (Area Rivenditori). The go-to-market targets both residential households (CASA) and small-to-medium businesses including hotels and multi-site organizations in Tuscany and nationally via fiber. Marketing relies on the website's coverage-check form, social media presence, and seasonal promotions such as San Valentino campaigns to drive new contract activations.
