Monday 8 November 2021 | 10:29 CET | News
Spanish satellite operator Hispasat, now owned by national grid operator Red Electrica, has announced the launch of a new initiative dubbed 'Conectate' to close the digital divide by delivering internet at speeds of up to 100Mbps to customers beyond the reach of ground-based networks. The satellite-based service is a wholesale, neutral and open offer that all telecommunications operators in the country can add to their portfolios to support ubiquitous broadband access, said Hispasat.
