MEXICO CITY, Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Viasat
Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global communications company,
announced today the availability of reliable, high-speed,
high-quality internet service for residential customers in
Mexico. Customers will be able to
subscribe to a home satellite internet service with speeds in
select areas up to 50 Megabits per second (Mbps), enabling them to
enjoy online access to social media, streaming content, video call
services, sending/receiving emails and using unlimited chat and web
browsing.
Viasat has established itself as a trusted, credible satellite
internet provider. The Company has successfully deployed its
Community Wi-Fi hotspot service across the country, using
satellite-enabled Wi-Fi hotspots to deliver affordable internet
service to remote communities that previously had little or no
internet connectivity. Viasat has also collaborated with local
partners in Mexico on the
'Internet para Todos' program, connecting government buildings,
federal clinics and schools to the internet over Viasat's satellite
systems. Additionally, Viasat has been contracted by Aeroméxico to
bring high-speed in-flight connectivity to a portion of the
airline's commercial fleet.
"There are still millions of people within Mexico that are without access to a
high-quality, reliable broadband internet connection—we're here to
change that," said Lisa Scalpone,
vice president of Latin America Residential Services at Viasat. "We
are excited to help close this digital gap in Mexico and connect people to everything the
internet has to offer. Our new internet service offerings are
priced right for the Mexican consumer and will offer the fastest
connections with dependable service quality to meet their everyday
online needs."
