LIMA: Satellite internet<\/a> company Viasat<\/a> will enter Latin America as an internet provider targeting remote communities with limited connectivity, the company said on Tuesday, seeking to win customers where telecoms have failed to make inroads.

\"We can drive the cost of (internet) delivery down dramatically,\" Rick Baldridge, Viasat President and chief executive, said in an interview. \"That allows us to go anywhere. To do that at a very, very low cost.\"

The project will include Peruvian conglomerate
Intercorp Financial Services<\/a> and Central American Bottling Corp (CBC), which delivers PepsiCo beverages in the region. CBC will help distribute the necessary infrastructure to pick up satellite internet.

The companies declined to offer details on the size of the investment or roughly how much consumers would pay for the service. The move aims to focus on remote communities where the cost of providing satellite internet is cheaper than building build cellphone towers or installing fiber optic.

Carlos Casabonne, the head of the
Intercorp<\/a> subsidiary participating in the project, said the infrastructure needs entail providing satellite dishes to small local shops.

\"That creates hot spots that can reach a radius of 200 meters,\" Cassabone said.

The stores could then sell internet access cheaply. He cautioned that the project was still a for-profit venture.

Initial coverage areas will focus on Guatemala and Jamaica, but would eventually expand to other parts of Central and South America.

Viasat said it can currently serve customers up to north Colombia, but expects to install an additional satellite next year that will offer coverage in South America.

Viasat announced on Monday that it was buying rival Inmarsat for $7.3 billion.

利马:卫星网络公司Viasat公司将进入拉丁美洲作为一个互联网服务提供商针对偏远地区有限的连接,该公司周二表示,为了赢得客户,电信未能进军。

“我们可以开车(互联网)交付的成本大大降低,”里克•Baldridge Viasat公司总裁兼首席执行官,在一次采访中说。“这让我们去任何地方。在一个非常,非常低的成本。”

该项目将包括秘鲁企业集团Intercorp金融服务和中美洲装瓶集团(CBC),百事可乐饮料在该地区。CBC将帮助分发必要的基础设施来接卫星网络。

公司拒绝提供细节的规模投资约为服务消费者会花多少钱。此举旨在关注偏远社区提供卫星网络的成本是低于建筑构建手机发射塔或安装光纤。

卡洛斯•Casabonne的负责人Intercorp子公司参与这个项目,说,基础设施需求需要向当地的小商店提供卫星天线。

“创造热点,可以达到一个半径为200米,“Cassabone说。

商店可以出售廉价的互联网接入。他警告称,该项目仍然是一个以营利为目的的企业。

最初的报道领域将集中在危地马拉和牙买加,但最终将扩展到其他中美洲和南美洲部分地区。

Viasat公司表示,目前服务客户北哥伦比亚,但预计明年安装额外的卫星将提供覆盖在南美洲。

Viasat公司周一宣布以73亿美元收购竞争对手国际海事卫星。
