Aire en AOTEC 2026: liderando la transformación del operador local hacia la era ‘Techco’

Equipo de Aire presente en el stand de Aire en FIBES, Sevilla, para la feria AOTEC 2026

Un año más, el equipo de Aire ha desplegado todo su potencial en AOTEC 2026, el encuentro de referencia para el sector del operador local, celebrado en el FIBES de Sevilla. Han sido unas jornadas intensas marcadas por el reencuentro con el sector, el debate sobre los grandes retos tecnológicos y, sobre todo, por consolidar nuestra propuesta de valor: acompañar a los operadores locales en su evolución definitiva hacia compañías tecnológicas integrales.

La antesala del congreso ya auguraba el éxito de la cita. El miércoles por la tarde, durante la feria pre-evento diseñada como un guiño a la feria de Sevilla, el stand de Aire se convirtió en el punto de encuentro idóneo.

Ciberseguridad en el Tech Forum

El plato fuerte de la agenda de ponencias llegó de la mano de nuestro CTIO, Zigor Gaubeca, quien participó en la mesa redonda “Ciberseguridad: Resiliencia de Redes y Protección de Datos”, moderada por María Jesús Cauhe Fuertes, vicepresidenta de AOTEC.

Zigor lanzó una de las grandes reflexiones del foro al desgranar una pregunta clave: ¿Cómo se frena un ataque masivo de 1,3 Tbps en apenas 5 minutos?

La respuesta reside en la necesidad crítica de contar con una primera capa de seguridad robusta y perimetral, capaz de mitigar los ataques volumétricos antes de que afecten directamente a la infraestructura de red.

Además de la resiliencia de las redes, Zigor amplió las conclusiones del debate poniendo el foco en la vulnerabilidad del tejido empresarial, especialmente de las PYMEs, con mensajes claros y directos:

  • El peligro de las contraseñas: aproximadamente el 80% de las brechas de seguridad empresariales se producen a causa de credenciales débiles. Implementar mecanismos sencillos de control de contraseñas y el Doble Factor de Autenticación (MFA) es hoy un auténtico must.
  • Cultura y concienciación: la tecnología no lo es todo; la formación continua y la concienciación de los empleados son las piezas clave para que una organización sea verdaderamente resiliente.
  • Marcos de trabajo regulados: la adopción de certificaciones de referencia como el ENS (Esquema Nacional de Seguridad) y la ISO 27001 son herramientas esenciales para construir un ecosistema empresarial seguro y maduro.
  • Sin importar el tamaño: la ciberseguridad ya no es opcional ni exclusiva de las corporaciones; todas las empresas, independientemente de su tamaño, deben estar preparadas.

La voz de los expertos: innovación, diversificación y el factor humano

Para profundizar en las demandas reales del mercado, analizamos las claves de la feria a través de dos de nuestras caras más visibles en el entorno de Telco y UCaaS:

Entrevista a Manuel Antonio Hernández, director general de TELCO

  • La revolución de la diversificación: el mercado tradicional de fibra y móvil sufre una agresiva competencia en precios. Para Manuel Antonio, la transición de proveedor de conectividad a Techco integral (Cloud, Voz, IA, Ciberseguridad) no es una opción, sino la clave para que el operador local mantenga su liderazgo tecnológico en su zona.
  • Infraestructura de última generación: Aire ya ha hecho los deberes invirtiendo en un nuevo core de red preparado para el 5G y tecnologías como Voz WiFi y VoLTE, cruciales para elevar la calidad de voz ante el inminente apagado de las redes 3G en España.
  • Un socio leal y sin competencia: al definir el compromiso a largo plazo con los partners, Manuel Antonio es rotundo: el valor de Aire reside en su trayectoria histórica de acompañamiento en el crecimiento y, de forma innegociable, en su lealtad al canal, garantizando que jamás se compite directamente con el operador en su propio terreno.

Entrevista a Pablo Vilchez, UCaaS Presales

  • El salto cultural al modelo de servicio: pasar de una centralita tradicional a UCaaS es como pasar del DVD a Netflix: un cambio de mentalidad. El cliente deja de pagar por una máquina física y un mantenimiento para disfrutar de un modelo cloud flexible que permite la movilidad absoluta y la actualización constante sin inversión en equipamiento.
  • El usuario en el centro: el “ingrediente secreto” de Aire es el control integral que posee como operador de red fija y OM full móvil, sumado a una filosofía clara: integrar las herramientas (Teams, CRM, WhatsApp) allí donde el usuario se sienta cómodo, evitando choques traumáticos en su día a día.
  • La IA no es el futuro, es el presente: Pablo recalca que el asistente inteligente ya está aquí. Herramientas de IA que transcriben llamadas, analizan sentimientos o sugieren respuestas en tiempo real están disponibles para ser implantadas de inmediato, transformando el puesto de trabajo actual.

Conclusiones: el valor de la alianza tecnológica

Como cierre de AOTEC 2026, lo que realmente nos llevamos no es solo el volumen de oportunidades o el excelente reencuentro con el sector en Sevilla, sino una validación clara de hacia dónde se está moviendo el mercado del operador local: hacia una diversificación necesaria, una mayor resiliencia y un criterio estratégico imprescindible para no quedarse atrás en la era digital. El operador ya no busca un simple proveedor mayorista de conectividad, sino un partner tecnológico leal capaz de estructurar propuestas completas de valor (Cloud, Voz, IA, Ciberseguridad) para seguir siendo la referencia indiscutible en su zona.

En este contexto, Aire refuerza su posicionamiento como un habilitador integral que no compite con sus partners, sino que construye coherencia y lealtad para acompañarlos en su crecimiento. Desplegamos una infraestructura de última generación que no solo mejora la calidad del servicio técnico diario, sino que dota al operador de una base sólida sobre la que mitigar riesgos críticos y desplegar soluciones inteligentes. Lo relevante no es lo que hemos mostrado en el evento, sino la dirección que confirma: la de un modelo donde la tecnología deja de ser un conjunto de servicios dispersos para convertirse en una ventaja competitiva estructural que impulsa y protege el negocio local.
