Velconet has signed a multi-year agreement with Eutelsat to provide broadband services across Argentina, Peru, Paraguay and Chile via the Eutelsat 115 West B satellite.

Velconet will use Eutelsat 115 West B’s Ku-band coverage across the Southern Cone to provide broadband connectivity in areas located beyond the reach of terrestrial networks. The service will target corporate customers mainly in the agricultural industry, which represents one of the largest economic sectors in Argentina with more than 250,000 farms, in addition to tourism, construction, banking, and small businesses.
