The new ON high-quality satellite Internet access service will be delivered to unserved and underserved people across Mexico. The service will include high speed broadband connectivity over satellite as a solution for remote regions where terrestrial service is not available.

The broadband service will utilise Gilat’s highly efficient X-Architecture and DVB-S2X VSATs operating over Ka-band capacity from Hispasat’s recently launched Amazonas-5 satellite.

Tobias Dezordi, Regional Vice President Latin America at Gilat, said: “This achievement is yet another step in delivering on Gilat’s global vision to enable quality, plentiful and affordable broadband worldwide, and our continued commitment to the Latin America region.”
