INRED and SES will deliver high-throughput connectivity services via SES's Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites to more than 500 homes, schools, government entities, and thousands of habitants in the department of Amazonas, both companies announced. With the aim of supporting the Colombian government's efforts to connect remote and hard-to-reach locations under the Amazonas Digital initiative, INRED is leveraging SES's MEO satellites to connect the city of Leticia and other rural areas in Amazonas. SES's MEO satellites, which orbit at 8,000 km above the Earth's surface, will play a major role in complementing the government's digital inclusion initiatives to deliver connectivity to even the most hard-to-reach regions in the country, ensuring people and businesses in these areas have equal access to social and economic opportunities.
