About METAVSHN
A family business from Ticino that ran its own ISP for 29 years before building software for other operators.
Our story
METAVSHN emerged as a spin-off of the established Swiss Telecom Provider Ticinocom SA. We became a standalone entity in 2022 to bring our software to Internet Service Providers beyond our own operation.
We run our own ISP on the same software, so every feature is tested on real customers before it ships to yours.
How we work
- Omniprovisioning®
- With METAVSHN you provision any service with any revenue model: bundle, standalone, prepaid or postpaid.
- Family-owned, no private equity
- METAVSHN is a family business started by successful telco entrepreneurs from southern Switzerland. After running their own ISP for 29 years, they spun out METAVSHN as a software company for other ISPs, no exit strategies, no private equity.
- Built for the long run
- We work on the hard parts of running a telco, like billing edge cases and migrations, instead of features that demo well and change nothing.
