[Via Satellite 06-30-2016] Hispasat is providing satellite connectivity to the organizers of Ruta BBVA 2016 — a cultural exchange program designed to strengthen the ties between young Spaniards and Latin Americans of the Iberoamerican Community of Nations — which begins its trip tomorrow. Ruta BBVA 2016 participants will be travelling through Mexico to visit important archeological sites of the Mayan civilization, as well as to learn about some of the social policies that address major problems currently faced by Yucatan society.

There, Hispasat will provide the organization and journalists with broadband internet access via satellite and IP telephone service, allowing them to broadcast information and transmit radio and video signals from Mexico.

The Mexican company Globalsat, an additional sponsor of the Ruta BBVA this year, will provide and manage the technical equipment needed on land in order to connect with Hispasat’s Amazonas 2 satellite and ensure the service is working correctly at all times. This will be the 13th year that Hispasat has accompanied the Ruta BBVA as a satellite service provider.
