The network
From the submarine cable to every user's phone.
Four layers of infrastructure, designed to reach where fiber and traditional services don't.
Network layers
-
1
International transit
Transit through the NAP of the Americas, with Cirion Technologies and Globenet submarine redundancy in a double ring.
-
2
Backbone
Ubiquiti airFiber point-to-point radio links of several gigabits per second, on licensed and unlicensed bands.
-
3
Two-layer distribution
airMAX and LTU sectors for fixed customers; UniFi access points for open Wi-Fi zones.
-
4
Autonomous power
Solar panels, MPPT controllers, LiFePO4 or AGM batteries and pure sine-wave inverters.
Infrastructure at every node
Each site is sized with its own engineering study.
Long-distance links
- Reach
- More than 50 km per hop
- Design
- Line-of-sight and Fresnel-zone study
- Backup
- Intermediate repeater nodes where the terrain requires them
Power
- Source
- High-efficiency monocrystalline panels
- Reserve
- 48 to 72 hours without sun
- Sizing
- Based on the real load of both distribution layers
Nodes by region
