Puntonet currently operates an extensive network infrastructure featuring more than 60,000 kilometers of access network and 23,000 kilometers of backbone fiber, with presence in all 24 provinces and over 37 cities nationwide. It serves nearly 3,800 corporate clients with over 24,000 active services, in addition to roughly 210,000 residential customers. This positions the company among the top integrated telecommunications providers in Ecuador.
Alongside its infrastructure expansion, Puntonet is actively addressing digital inclusion challenges highlighted by the 2025 INEC data, which reports one in four rural households lacks regular internet access. The company has implemented connectivity projects targeting rural schools, foundations, and local governments, enabling over 4,000 people to access basic digital education and online services. The company sustains more than 1,200 direct jobs and collaborates with a similar number of specialized service providers in network engineering, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and data center operations. Diversity and training initiatives, including its “Mujeres en Acción” program, have integrated 64 women into technical roles.
Puntonet’s strategic roadmap through 2027 centers on expanding digital infrastructure, cloud services, and cybersecurity solutions to meet Ecuador’s accelerating demand for digital transformation, reinforcing its role as a critical technological partner in national development.
