The Peruvian Amazon, where the Amazon River begins, is a region rich in biodiversity and cultural heritage. With its breathtaking landscapes—including the vibrant rainbow mountains and expansive rainforests—Peru is a country of contrasts. While its economy thrives on industries like mining, agriculture, and tourism, it faces significant challenges, particularly in digital connectivity. With a population exceeding 33 million, internet penetration stands at just 79.5% (Data Reportal, 2025). Although urban areas like Lima see nearly universal access, rural communities remain underconnected, highlighting a pressing need for satellite connectivity solutions.
The digital divide in Peru is not just a statistic; it represents real barriers to education, healthcare, and economic development. As organizations work to bridge this gap, satellite connectivity emerges as a transformative tool. Speedcast is at the forefront, deploying various satellite solutions tailored to the diverse needs of Peru’s communities, particularly those in remote areas.
Starlink offers low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet service in Peru for both residential and mobile users, requiring an initial kit purchase and a monthly subscription. Residential users can choose between the Starlink Mini and Standard options, which do not include a service level agreement (SLA).
As a Tier 1 Starlink Authorized Integrator, Speedcast has been actively testing and deploying Starlink’s business services for customers on land and at sea. Speedcast has been actively testing and deploying Starlink’s business services for customers on both land and at sea. For enterprises, Starlink provides Standard and Performance (Gen 2) kits. Many of our customers prefer the Performance option with Priority plans, as it guarantees a 99.9% Service Level Agreement (SLA), significantly reducing risks related to downtime and latency. Users can choose Local Priority plans for fixed or mobile setups, while those engaged in global operations have the option of the Global Priority Plan.
Since its launch in 2021, Starlink has rapidly expanded its presence in Peru, delivering download speeds ranging from 25 to 220 Mbps, upload speeds of 5 to 10 Mbps, and latency under 99 milliseconds. Enterprise users benefit from higher speeds with the Performance Gen 2 kits, making Starlink a versatile solution for connectivity across remote locations.
Eutelsat OneWeb LEO Service
Eutelsat OneWeb is actively deploying a constellation of satellites to deliver robust connectivity across Peru. With average speeds of 50 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up, OneWeb’s service is designed for reliability, essential for users relying on real-time data. The technology is adaptable, accommodating various asset types, from banking facilities to agricultural farms, and enhances connectivity for organizations working in remote locations.
Speedcast Ku-band VSAT GEO Service
Speedcast’s Ku-band VSAT network offers extensive coverage across Peru, ensuring a committed information rate (CIR) for reliable connectivity. Our Lima teleport, certified by the World Teleport Association, serves as a crucial hub within Speedcast’s Unified Global Platform. This robust network supports various sectors, including maritime, energy, mining, media, telecom, cruise, NGOs, government, and enterprises, all backed by our 24/7 Network Operations Centers.
In a notable initiative, Speedcast has partnered with local NGOs to bring internet access to the Q’eros, one of the last Incan communities. This connectivity has been vital for coordinating emergency response, sustaining education, and maintaining relationships with distant family members and government officials.
Speedcast has successfully built a fully managed connectivity solution in Iquitos, Peru, delivering the necessary fiber, radio links, and Wi-Fi networks to cellular operators and enterprise customers in parts of Peru where high-performance internet is essential. This connectivity supports latency-sensitive and bandwidth-intensive applications, fostering new economic opportunities while protecting the environment. Unlike fiber, which could have posed higher costs and longer implementation times, Speedcast’s solutions minimize environmental impact, ensuring that the local rainforest and its resources are preserved.
