Ecosystem Collaboration: How Ávato and Venko Drove Rapid Delivery and Long-Term Resilience
Speaker: Renato Bueno, Head of Enterprise, Latin America, Nokia
Venco is our end-to-end system integrator. Venco really understands our technology, sits together with every partner, and understands every small component that has to be put together for this to work seamlessly and rapidly. It’s very interesting to see the role of Ávato and Brazil in this project.
You have to understand that Brazil, being such a large country, has more than 50% of the country served in terms of fiber by regional operators. We call them ISPs—Internet Service Providers. There was no other way for us to reach and multiply our knowledge and create impact in the country if we did not leverage that local presence and expertise.
To put together a private wireless network, you need fiber, of course. Ávato brings the fiber. You need infrastructure. Ávato has the infrastructure. You need local presence—people in the field—because you cannot have your own teams, who are in metropolitan areas, serving such remote places.
And what is missing? What’s missing is the specific knowledge and end-to-end support. That’s where Nokia, together with Venco, steps in and can implement such impactful solutions.
