Parxtech

Sells the layer nobody photographs: cable, containment, power and the survey that decides where they go.

Parxtech was founded in São Paulo in 1992 to provide connectivity and information technology services, and describes itself as wholly Brazilian-owned with national delivery capability. Its lines are networking, structured cabling, CCTV, wireless intrusion prevention, electrical work and outsourcing.

**That combination is worth pausing on, because it is a physical-layer business with a security product bolted on**, and the two halves are more related than they look. Networking, cabling, CCTV and electrical are all site work - somebody measures a building, decides where things go, pulls cable through it and terminates both ends. Wireless intrusion prevention is the odd one out on paper and not in practice: **detecting a rogue access point is a survey problem before it is a software problem**, and the company already owns the ladder.

**The electrical line is the detail that identifies the business type.** A great many integrators stop at the patch panel. A company that will also do the power is selling to the person who has to make the room work, not to the person who has to make the network work - and those are frequently different people with different budgets, which is why most vendors' channel programmes have no idea how to categorise a company like this.

**Short entry, deliberately.** What exists publicly is a founding year, a service list and a positioning statement. There is no founder account, no ownership history and no archival coverage, and this site does not invent them. **The record supports what is written here and no more.**
