Overview
České Radiokomunikace is a Czech telecommunications and information-and-communications-technology infrastructure operator whose activities center on broadcasting, connectivity, communications, and data services. Its technical footprint includes a nationwide network of more than 600 sites used for wireless signal distribution, giving the company a significant role in the transmission of terrestrial radio and television services across the Czech Republic. It also serves wholesale and business customers with telecommunications and ICT capabilities, including wireless and optical connectivity, voice services, internet access, data solutions, and cloud-related services. The organization traces its institutional origins to 1963, when it operated as Správa radiokomunikací. Following the end of the communist regime and the subsequent privatization of state assets, the business was transferred in 1994 to ČESKÉ RADIOKOMUNIKACE a.s. During the early 1990s it developed into an internet-service provider for the Czech government and large companies. Its scope expanded during the following decade: in 2001, after privatization had been completed, it began distributing telecommunications and television and radio broadcasting services, and in 2003 it added telephony and internet services to its wider offering. The legal entity and ownership structure underwent several reorganizations. In 2005, the original company ceased to exist and its revenue was transferred to JTR Management a.s., which was renamed RADIOKOMUNIKACE a.s. while the ČESKÉ RADIOKOMUNIKACE trademark continued to be used. In 2006, the reorganized business acquired the shares of telephone carrier Tele2 and changed its logo. Further legal transfers took place in 2007, when BLJ Czech, a.s. was renamed RADIOKOMUNIKACE a.s. and later in the same year became České Radiokomunikace a.s. In 2009, its local telecommunications division was acquired by T-Mobile Czech Republic. The company retained and developed a major role in terrestrial broadcasting. In 2010, Czech Digital Group completed the acquisition of the third multiplex of the then-new DVB-T terrestrial television system. In 2011, another corporate reorganization transferred the business to Morava Czech Communications Holdings a.s., which returned to the name České Radiokomunikace a.s. The company was then sold to Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets Europe for 14 billion Czech koruna. During the same year it entered the information and communications industry more directly by offering cloud-computing services. Its visual identity was updated again in 2016. In May 2021, Macquarie sold České Radiokomunikace to Canadian infrastructure investor Cordiant Digital Infrastructure for an undisclosed amount. The company therefore combines a long-established national broadcasting role with modern enterprise connectivity, data, and cloud services. Its primary market remains the Czech Republic, and its customer orientation is principally wholesale and business-to-business rather than consumer retail.
History
České Radiokomunikace originated in 1963 as Správa radiokomunikací, a state-era organization responsible for radio-communications infrastructure. Its modern corporate identity emerged during the post-1989 transformation of the Czech economy. In 1994, following the privatization process that accompanied the end of communist rule, the enterprise was transferred to ČESKÉ RADIOKOMUNIKACE a.s. During the early 1990s, the organization expanded beyond its traditional transmission role and became an internet-service provider for the Czech government and major companies. Completion of privatization in 2001 was followed by a broader commercial role distributing telecommunications services and television and radio broadcasts. In 2003, telephony and internet services were added to the company's offer, strengthening its position as a diversified communications operator rather than solely a broadcasting network. The company's legal history includes multiple transfers and renamings. In 2005, the existing company ceased to exist as a legal entity and its revenue was transferred to JTR Management a.s. That company was promptly renamed RADIOKOMUNIKACE a.s., although it continued to use the ČESKÉ RADIOKOMUNIKACE trademark. In 2006, the reorganized business acquired the shares of telephone carrier Tele2 and adopted a new logo. In 2007, BLJ Czech, a.s. became the vehicle for another transfer of the business; it was renamed RADIOKOMUNIKACE a.s. and later that year became České Radiokomunikace a.s. A major portfolio change occurred in 2009, when T-Mobile Czech Republic purchased the company's local telecommunications division. The broadcasting side continued to develop as digital terrestrial television was introduced. In 2010, Czech Digital Group completed the acquisition of the third DVB-T multiplex, contributing to the expansion of the Czech terrestrial television platform. In 2011, the enterprise underwent another legal reorganization. Its business was transferred to Morava Czech Communications Holdings a.s., which subsequently resumed the name České Radiokomunikace a.s. The reorganized company was sold to Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets Europe for 14 billion Czech koruna. The same year marked a strategic move into the broader information and communications sector, with the introduction of cloud-computing services. The company updated its logo again in 2016, while continuing to operate a nationwide physical infrastructure consisting of more than 600 objects used for wireless signal distribution. This network supports the distribution of analog and digital radio and digital television and underpins the company's continuing importance to Czech media transmission. In May 2021, Macquarie sold České Radiokomunikace to Canadian infrastructure investor Cordiant Digital Infrastructure. The transaction amount was not disclosed in the referenced material. Under its current profile, the company serves mainly wholesale and business customers with wireless and optical connectivity, voice, internet, data, cloud, data center, and broadcasting services. Its history therefore reflects the transition of Czech communications infrastructure from a state-operated broadcasting system into a privately owned, diversified telecommunications and ICT platform.
