Guatemalan service provider Comnet is the first to tap into the newly launched SES Networks Enterprise+ Broadband for Latin America to enable the delivery of Quantum, a next-generation broadband service, to its end customers spanning the agricultural, tourism and mining industries. SES announced today that, in the multi-year contract, Comnet will use the carrier-class managed services platform on the SES 10 satellite to extend reliable connectivity to underserved communities.

The turnkey broadband multi-tenant platform is underpinned by SES’ fleet coverage over Latin America, an extensive global teleport infrastructure, and iDirect’s ground system capabilities. By using Enterprise+ Broadband, Comnet can customize and flexibly manage connectivity for each customer, SES stated.

“The competitive offering is enabling us to focus on providing better value for money services to our customers, enabling them to grow their business faster and across a wider region using our new Quantum service,” said Jorge Eskenasy, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Comnet.
