Nokia has deployed a new subaquatic and future-proof Optical, IP and fibre broadband network in the Amazon Rainforest alongside Global Fiber Peru.
The network connects over 400 communities to multi-gigabit broadband access that Nokia says is critical in today’s digital economy,
Founded in 2015 as a subsidiary of Satelital Group, Global Fiber Peru operates a fibre optic network with coverage throughout Peru, with a special focus on the 180 provincial capitals.
Buried in the Amazon River, the new subaquatic network interconnects 500,000 users across 400 communities, in an area known as the three-border region, where Peru, Colombia and Brazil share borders.
The Nokia subaquatic backbone connects the localities of Iquitos and Santa Rosa de Yaraví (Peru), Leticia (Colombia) and Tabatinga (Brazil), allowing Global Fiber Peru to offer the first FTTH (Fibre-to-the-Home) broadband access service in the region, as well as multi-gigabit services for enterprise users.
