Elara Comunicaciones builds iDirect VSAT network in Southeastern Mexico


According to VT iDirect, Inc., Mexican telecom supplier Elara Comunicaciones, S.A. de C.V. has begun creating a large-scale VSAT satcom network that will provide 2,717 towns in rural southeastern Mexico with voice and data services.

The new VSAT network is part of the “10K” government initiative under the Ministry of Communications and Transport (SCT) of Mexico. It will link together thousands of villages in remote areas that lack access to modern communications infrastructure, and deliver voice and data connectivity to local citizens, government agencies, health care facilities, and schools.

Elara has selected iDirect as its satellite communications platform. Its local team of VSAT installation specialists are installing the satcom network at a fast clip.

The iDirect VSAT network will use iDirect X1 and X3 remotes to deliver multiple service levels that can scale up to 2 Mbps.

The new regional VSAT network will enter service in spring. Elara will ensure satellite service for the next two years. The Company mentioned plans to offer IPTV, Virtual Private Network (VPN) access, Hotspot Wifi connectivity, and fixed and mobile voice services in the future.
