Optiwella is a leading global supplier of premium quality refurbished network hardware. Based in Szeged, Hungary, we've served over 1,000 satisfied cable operators and internet service providers across six continents.
Our mission is simple: to provide high-performance telecommunications equipment at a fraction of the cost of new hardware, without compromising on quality or reliability.
Optiwella’s journey began not in a corporate boardroom, but with a passion for connectivity. The company’s roots trace back to the early 2000s in Ada, Serbia, where founders Tamás Bakos and Albert Szirbik started a small residential internet service provider. Facing the high costs of building cable networks, they began searching for cost-effective alternatives to expensive new equipment.
Recognizing a gap in the market for reliable, high-quality used equipment, the duo pivoted from service provision to global trade. In 2011, Optiwella was officially founded, operating from a one-car garage.
By bypassing traditional distributor networks and mastering global logistics, Optiwella transformed from a local startup into a key player in the global telecommunications market.
