Why it’s important
Ufinet’s acquisitions reinforce its leadership in Latin America’s telecom sector. Internexa Chile’s 5,000 km fibre-optic network enhances Ufinet’s backbone with redundant routes and OPGW cables for better reliability and international connections. Gold Data Panamá’s fibre-optic and wireless networks extend Ufinet’s reach, especially in remote areas, boosting Panama’s role as an international traffic hub.
These moves align with Ufinet’s strategy to provide advanced connectivity solutions, like dark fibre, IP transit, and data centres. The integration supports digital transformation, bridges connectivity gaps, and meets rising data demands across the region.
