Argentina. The telecommunications and information technology market is undergoing a profound transformation. What was once a sector oriented to the provision of connectivity, today faces the challenge of offering comprehensive solutions that allow communities, companies and end users to be part of a dynamic and competitive digital ecosystem.
In this context, fiber optics have established themselves as the undisputed basis on which the services of the present and the future are based. Its technical superiority in speed, energy efficiency, reliability, and costs make it the pillar on which new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are developed.
Migrating to FTTH networks is no longer an option but a strategic necessity. For cooperatives, telcos and ISPs, taking this leap not only means improving the quality of service, but also opening the door to new business models with fast and sustainable returns on investment.
The opportunity is clear: in Argentina, 34.5% of broadband accesses are made through fiber. The margin for growth is enormous. The window of opportunity is open, at a time of technological maturity in which the benefits are proven.
But it's not just about deploying fiber. True competitiveness lies in integrating infrastructures and adding smart services: from real-time network management and energy consumption monitoring to the digitalization of homes, industries and cities. IoT solutions applied to infrastructure are no longer promises, but realities that allow us to optimize resources, reduce costs and generate new sources of income.
For ISPs, cooperatives and telcos, the key is to stop thinking of themselves as simple connectivity providers and evolve towards a role as strategic allies, capable of offering complete platforms that integrate infrastructure, digital services and value-added tools. It is this integration that will make a difference in a market where the most extensive network is no longer enough: the decisive thing will be to design complete and sustainable experiences.
At Tecnored we are convinced that the way to the future is to add value to existing networks with smart services, take advantage of every investment made and put technology at the service of regional development. We are committed to a vision that transcends the business: we want every network we build and every solution we integrate to be a driver of digital equity, productivity and innovation.
The message is simple: those who dare to integrate, innovate and evolve will be the ones who define the next stage of the industry. The future is no longer just in connectivity, but in the ability to make it the platform for an entire digital ecosystem.
