The Amazonas Digital initiative will see INRED
leverage SES’s MEO satellites in Colombia to connect more than 500
homes, schools and government entities across the city of Leticia
and other rural areas in Amazonas
Following a series of successful collaborations to close the
digital divide, Colombian local connectivity service provider INRED
and SES will deliver high-throughput connectivity services via
SES’s Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites to more than 500 homes,
schools, government entities, and thousands of habitants in the
department of Amazonas, both companies announced today.
With the aim of supporting the Colombian government’s efforts to
connect remote and hard-to-reach locations under the Amazonas
Digital initiative, INRED is leveraging SES’s MEO satellites to
connect the city of Leticia and other rural areas in Amazonas.
SES’s MEO satellites, which orbit at 8,000 km above the Earth’s
surface, will play a major role in complementing the government’s
digital inclusion initiatives to deliver connectivity to even the
most hard-to-reach regions in the country, ensuring people and
businesses in these areas have equal access to social and economic
opportunities.
“Having a long-term partner such as SES, who operates satellites
in both geostationary and MEO orbits and knows our connectivity
needs well, we have full trust in SES offering the most ideal
satellite network to pave the way to a better social and economic
future for the people of Colombia,” says John Ureña, Chief
Executive Officer of INRED.
“At SES we are committed to supporting our partners to close the
digital divide. We have previously enabled INRED to connect nearly
one million people in 1,300 sites across Colombia with free Wi-Fi
access,” said Omar Trujillo, Vice President of Enterprise Americas
at SES. “Today we expand our collaboration as INRED leverages our
MEO satellites to connect the population of the city of Leticia
with low-latency, high-throughput connectivity that will allow for
better access to educational and governmental services.”
