Latin American-based Axesat and German-based CETel are combining to form AXESS Networks (AXESS), a new leading global player in the enterprise satellite communications industry. Pairing Axesat‘s commercial strategy and its presence in the Latin American market with CETel’s experience in providing solutions to the EMEA market has been the key driver for this merger.

The new company has a unique global infrastructure, recognized by the World Teleport Association (WTA). AXESS operates three main teleports located in Germany, Mexico, and Colombia, and alternative teleports in Dubai and Peru. The company provides global coverage to a diverse base of industrial, energy, oil and gas, telecom, infrastructure, mining, marine and government/NGO customers. Current operations cover more than 50 countries on four continents.

The former president of Axesat, Mauricio Segovia, has been appointed AXESS’ Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Guido Neumann, former Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of CETel, has been appointed AXESS’ Chief Development Officer (CDO). Ramon Escales joined the company as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). AXESS is headquartered in Barcelona, Spain.
