Odašiljači i veze d.o.o. (OiV) is a Croatian limited liability entity dedicated to terrestrial television and WiMAX services. It was formed in 2001 after separating from Hrvatska Radiotelevizija. The company's origins trace back to its establishment by Oton Kučera on 29 March 1924. OiV remains state-owned, with its main office situated in Zagreb, and Mate Botica serving as the current CEO.

In June 2002, OiV began DVB-T trials, initially transmitting four national television stations: HRT 1, HRT 2, HRT 3, and Nova TV. By 2007, the company had developed a network of nine transmitters, enabling coverage of about 70% of the Croatian territory. The analogue signal was discontinued in October 2010.

By December 2013, OiV was broadcasting 11 national channels, including HRT 1, HRT 2, HRT 3, HRT 4, RTL Televizija, RTL 2, RTL Kockica, Nova TV, Doma TV, SPTV, and CMC, alongside various regional broadcasts. The organization employs approximately 300 personnel and prioritizes the advancement of digital broadcasting infrastructure throughout Croatia.
