ST Engineering iDirect has partnered with AiTelecom to deploy its next-generation satellite ground system across Mexico. This satellite ground system will strengthen national connectivity, expand broadband access, and improve network resilience in underserved communities.
Delivered through the Intuition Unbound Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model, the solution enables faster rollout and scalable growth. As a result, AiTelecom can accelerate Mexico’s digital transformation while maintaining operational flexibility.
Satellite Ground System Strengthens Mexico’s Connectivity Infrastructure
Satellite-enabled networks now form a critical layer of Mexico’s communications ecosystem. Therefore, integrating this advanced satellite ground system allows AiTelecom to build a resilient and future-ready network that complements terrestrial infrastructure.
According to Trade.gov (https://www.trade.gov), nearly 30% of Mexico’s population lacks reliable broadband access. Additionally, around 1.6 million businesses face slow or inconsistent internet connectivity. These limitations restrict digital commerce, cloud adoption, and remote work.
By leveraging next-generation ground infrastructure, AiTelecom aims to close these connectivity gaps and deliver dependable digital services nationwide.
Performance Benefits of the New Ground Infrastructure
The deployed system provides measurable operational advantages:
-
Up to 70% resource savings through dynamic cloud-native scaling
-
Optimized hardware utilization with reduced physical footprint
-
Up to 50% savings in high-density performance scenarios
-
Faster bandwidth allocation using Global Bandwidth Management and Mx-DMA MRC waveform
-
Telco-grade reliability and enhanced network security
Moreover, the as-a-service model ensures predictable operational costs. Consequently, AiTelecom can scale efficiently while maintaining regulatory compliance and local oversight.
More information about the technology portfolio is available on the official ST Engineering iDirect website (https://www.idirect.net).
Future-Ready Satellite Ground System for AI and 5G Expansion
The satellite ground system also supports NTN (non-terrestrial network) architectures. This capability becomes increasingly important as 5G, AI-driven services, and cloud platforms expand globally. The International Telecommunication Union (https://www.itu.int) highlights satellite systems as essential to closing broadband gaps worldwide.
Darren Ludington, Regional Vice President, Americas at ST Engineering iDirect, noted that combining global satellite expertise with AiTelecom’s strong local leadership creates a scalable connectivity model for the Mexican market.
The new infrastructure will support AiTelecom’s planned commercial launch in Q4 2026. Ultimately, this deployment positions the company to deliver secure, high-performance satellite connectivity across Mexico.
