📋 Tender Overview
In this year, 177 locations already have connectivity, within the framework of the commitments of 2024.The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) continues to advance in its commitment to connect to Peru through policies that promote private investment and public-private collaboration. Through the Canon mechanism for coverage, more than 25 thousand Peruvians in rural areas already enjoy 4G mobile services, improving their social and economic development opportunities.
During 2025, the display of telecommunications infrastructure under this mechanism has reached 177 locations in 16 regions of the country, promoting high -speed Internet access. This figure represents 41.64 % of the commitment established for 2024, whose objective is to benefit a total of 425 locations for June 2025.
The Vice Minister of Communications, Carla Paola Sosa Vela, stressed that, to date, 25,824 citizens have been connected to 4G mobile services thanks to this joint effort between the public and private sector. This initiative not only improves communication in rural areas, but also expands opportunities for educational, social and economic development.
The regions benefited to date include Amazonas (19), Ancash (7), Apurimac (4), Ayacucho (7), Cajamarca (59), Cusco (19), Huancavelica (17), Huanuco (5), Ica (2), Junin (8), Lima (2), Piura (14), Puno (3), San Martin (3), Tacna (1) (7). Each of these locations represents a firm step towards reducing inequalities in access to technology.
The canon by coverage is a clear sign of how the MTC promotes the closure of the digital gap encouraging private participation. Through this mechanism, operating companies allocate up to 60 % of the payment for the use of the radio spectrum to infrastructure investments for 4G mobile services. In this way, it is guaranteed that thousands of citizens can access quality connectivity in areas where it was unthinkable.
With this joint and collaborative effort, the MTC reaffirms its commitment to work hand in hand with the private sector to close the connectivity gap in Peru, providing more opportunities to all citizens, regardless of their geographical location.
