iQSTEL Uses Its $25M Acquisition
Funding Towards the Offer for a 2,300 Mile Central American
Fiber-Optic Network Company
NEW YORK, NY -- March 10, 2020 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- iQSTEL Inc. (IQST) is
pleased to announce that it, along with a very select group of
large telecom service providers, has been invited to submit a
Request For Information (RFI) to acquire a controlling interest in
a 2,300 mile aerial fiber-optic network company.
iQSTEL moved from the inquiry stage to the qualification stage
after receiving the recently announced $25M funding commitment from
a New York-based investment bank. iQSTEL’s existing Latin American
infrastructure and experience positions the Company for the rapid
execution of this project. This acquisition would add 2,300 miles
of fiber-optic networks over high voltage electrical tower (4,500
towers) to the Company’s growing portfolio, spanning the region
from Guatemala to Panama.
The acquisition of a controlling interest in this fiber-optic
network company is potentially valued at over $100M based upon the
multi-phase plans submitted, including expansion of the existing 4G
network and upgrading it to support 5G within 6-9 months. The
multi-phase plan also includes completion of interconnect between
Central America, Mexico and the USA within the year. The name
of the acquisition target has been kept confidential at this stage
due to confidentiality agreement executed as part of the
acquisition process.
“One of the key aspects of this acquisition is the network is
aerial, significantly reducing upgrade and expansion costs compared
to our submarine cables. Additionally, with the network run across
the electrical towers, it will enjoy a near-monopolistic advantage
over any competitors due to the regulatory and significant costs
associated with duplicating it. This is a rare find and we are very
excited to be a part of developing this under-served region’s
network,” commented Mr. Iglesias, iQSTEL’s CEO.
