General information
The Network Management service is based on our long-term experience in this field and requires a highly professional level of our technical personnel and detailed knowledge of local networks. Picabo.cz, a.s. focuses both on standard deliveries of complete network solutions custom-built “from scratch” and also on administering currently running systems built by other subjects.
