ARSAT

ARSAT is an Argentine state-owned telecommunications company founded in 2006, focused on providing wholesale telecommunications solutions across Argentina. The company operates as a key infrastructure provider, delivering connectivity services including satellite and terrestrial networks, cloud solutions, datacenter services, and cybersecurity offerings. ARSAT’s core business centers around building and operating national infrastructure to expand connectivity throughout the country, with a stated emphasis on federal coverage.

A defining characteristic of ARSAT is its ownership and operation of geostationary (GEO) satellites, specifically ARSAT-1 and ARSAT-2, which were constructed by INVAP, an Argentine technology company. These satellites are integral to ARSAT’s service offerings, enabling digital television broadcasting and internet connectivity services.

ARSAT positions itself as a wholesale provider, suggesting its primary customers are other telecommunications companies and service providers who then deliver services to end-users. The company’s focus on national infrastructure and broad service offerings indicates a strategic role in expanding digital access and bolstering telecommunications capabilities within Argentina.
