Company profile
researched Aug 2026Divitel is a Netherlands-based specialist in video and broadband operations, serving telecom operators, ISPs and cable operators, and media companies. It positions itself as an independent, vendor-agnostic partner across the full lifecycle of a video or broadband platform: strategy and consulting, multi-vendor system integration, its own observability platform, and 24/7 managed services. The company describes its core problem space as the fragmentation of modern IPTV/OTT and broadband platforms, where ingest, encoding, transcoding, CDN, storage, DRM, middleware, network, set-top boxes and applications each produce separate metrics, logs and alerts without end-to-end correlation.
Its product, MindRelay, is an observability and intelligent operations platform that connects each layer of the service chain into a single operational view. Stated capabilities include more than 50 data agents, over 130 dashboards, AI-powered analysis and anomaly detection, FlowPilot alarm-to-incident routing, role-based views, a sovereign data lake in which customers retain control of their data, and integrations with major IPTV/OTT vendors. Divitel also describes an "Algorithm Factory" combining proprietary platforms and real-time data pipelines, domain-trained AI models built on its accumulated operational expertise and incident patterns, and Agile, Scrum and ITIL v4 process frameworks.
The company reports serving more than 50 operators across four continents and holds ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications. Third-party profiling places it in the broadcast media production and distribution industry with roughly 54 employees and estimated revenue in the range of $1M.
Founding story
Divitel was founded in 1997 by Hans Kornmann, a Dutch cable engineer focused on video delivery quality. Kornmann remains CEO and founder.
Business model
Divitel combines professional services and software. It sells independent strategy and consulting engagements (technical assessments, vendor selection, RFP support, program management), multi-vendor system integration projects, subscriptions to its MindRelay observability platform, and 24/7 managed services delivered from its Operating Center covering monitoring, incident management, performance optimization and release management.
Revenue comes from consulting and system integration projects, MindRelay platform deployments, and recurring 24/7 managed services contracts. External estimates place annual revenue in the range of $1M.
Traction
Divitel states it is trusted by more than 50 operators across four continents and reports customer outcomes including 59% fewer incidents, 5x faster resolution and 30+ NPS point improvement from its managed services. It has delivered projects such as the PYUR TV HD launch with Tele Columbus and a middleware migration for a German TV operator with UniqCast, and holds ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications.
Latest developments
Divitel has introduced MindRelay as its observability and intelligent operations platform and is promoting webinars on self-healing operations. In 2025 it published its annual Video Delivery Landscape and appeared at ANGA COM, IBC and Network X. The company also describes expansion of its operational intelligence approach beyond media into defense, healthcare, energy and other critical network markets.
