[Via Satellite 09-30-13] Media Networks has signed an agreement to provide its wholesale satellite Internet service in Ku-band, ISAT-KU, to Ensatel, a satellite Internet provider in the Peruvian Amazon. This new agreement consolidates Media Networks a leading wholesaler of ISAT-KU in Latin America, where the unit of Telefónica Digital B2B serves more than 20 operations with this technology, according to Carlos González, commercial manager, Media Networks South America.

In the coming weeks, Media Networks will deploy its new wholesale offer of satellite Internet for homes, said González. “This is a service that is a pioneer in Latin America, the Ka-Band satellite Internet (ISAT-KA), a technology that makes it possible to make this service available to the residential segment in the region. The ISAT-KA is the perfect complement to traditional networks and has enormous potential for universal access to broadband in Latin America,” he said.

“We are pleased with this agreement, which will allow us to provide the service of ISAT-KU for the corporate segment in cities and in remote areas of the region,” said Luis Ampuero, general manager, Ensatel, adding that the service will deploy in October.
