UFINET: Committed to Quality and Innovation in Telecommunications<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the emergence of smoke signals and drums to the inception of electrical telecommunications systems, from the birth of the telephone to the emergence of the Internet, the telecommunications industry has evolved and grown massively throughout its long history. Today, this sector continues its rapid transformation phase with the onset of new technologies. However, with various innovations and disruptive developments from various telecom solution providers, the industry has become a giant and is set to do so in the future as well.<\/p>\n

A major player behind this market expansion has been UFINET<\/strong>, which has more than two decades of experience in being a neutral wholesale operator in the telecommunications industry. This has established the company as a favorite in the Latin American region and beyond!<\/p>\n

A brief review<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in 1998, UFINET<\/strong> began as the telecommunications department of a Spanish multinational company called Uni\u00f3n Fenosa, from which the company’s name originated. In 2000, UFINET began its period of expansion in Latin America, amalgamating with the electricity distribution companies that were acquired at that time by Uni\u00f3n Fenosa. Today, UFINET is one of the largest fiber optic operators in Latin America, with more than 50,000 kilometers of fiber distributed in 17 countries and more than 21 years of experience.<\/p>\n

The journey towards achieving a vision<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

From 2000 to 2014, UFINET<\/strong> ‘s strategy was to grow and consolidate Central America and Colombia as a key development region. However, the company has shifted its focus over the past three years to the promotion and development of the South American region as well. Its objective is to turn the territory into an integral growth lever due to the growing demand for broadband capacity.<\/p>\n

Apart from this, UFINET<\/strong> has also carried out several inorganic operations to increase its global presence, combined with several greenfield projects, which have resulted in the opening of new UFINET<\/strong> operations in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Ecuador and Mexico.<\/p>\n

The company’s expansion and growth is currently focused on Latin America as a whole, with rapid growth in fiber optic deployment and presence among the three Neutral Points of Presence (POP’s) in the United States: NAP of the Americas in Miami, Florida, One Wilshire in Los Angeles and 60th Hudson in New York.<\/p>\n

The company has been working hard to achieve the common goal of being the neutral telecommunications infrastructure operator of reference worldwide, especially in the last three years. UFINET<\/strong> has increased its internationalization through additional acquisitions and organic growth with a significant global investment in fiber optics that has surpassed the $200 million mark.<\/p>\n

Keys to success<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

UFINET<\/strong> is a carrier-neutral carrier, i.e. it does not compete with its partners for the end customer. It provides several keys that have paved their way to success:<\/p>\n
