📋 Tender Overview
More than 500 schools, medical posts and police stations will be benefited with speeds of up to 200 MbpsWith the aim of optimizing the Internet access service in rural areas, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), through the National Telecommunications Program (Pronatel), signed the adhes that approve adjustments to the access network of the regional broadband projects in Ayacucho and Huancavelica.
These modifications will progressively increase navigation speed up to 200 Mbps in 523 public institutions benefiting from both regions.
Pronatel reported that in this first stage 293 institutions of Ayacucho will benefit, distributed in 99 locations, and 230 institutions in Huancavelica, located in 82 locations.
It is a total of 318 schools, 162 health posts and 43 police stations that will continue to have an Internet service, but now with greater speed, which will strengthen education, health and safety in these regions.
This advance is possible thanks to Legislative Decree No. 1599, which drives technological innovation and authorizes Pronatel to modify current contracts to adapt them to minimal speed conditions, including the necessary steps to sign adeles with operators.
The broadband project for Ayacucho, which began operations in 2019, contemplates the Internet service for 731 public institutions (478 schools, 232 health posts and 21 police stations) in 350 populated centers. Meanwhile, the Huancavelica project serves 710 institutions (443 schools, 244 health posts and 23 police stations) in 354 populated centers.
The new addendas were subscribed by the executive director of Pronatel and the representative of the Operating company Gilat Networks.
With these actions, its commitment to continue working to close the digital gap in the country is reaffirmed, expanding the coverage of the Internet, strengthening digital skills and generating more development opportunities for all Peruvians.
