InterNexa’s network connects the regions from Atacama to Bio-Bio, including redundant routes between Valparaíso and the metropolitan region of Santiago, where UFINET connects the main data centres in the country with 100% underground infrastructure, as well as the main commercial areas of the city, and this operation adds a new data centre, completing five in the country and 21 in Latin America.

GOLD DATA Panamá, which has a solid and strategic fibre optic infrastructure mostly buried in Panama City, Colón, and West Panama, also increases UFINET´s existing coverage of more than15,000km of fibre optics in the country and will strengthen even more the higher level of protection to the main international traffic hubs in Panama.

In addition to the robust fibre optic network, GOLD DATA Panamá complements its infrastructure with a significant offering of wireless services in various technologies, which allows to reach remote and difficult-to-access areas in the country. This combination of fixed and wireless networks strengthens UFINET's coverage, expands its presence nationwide and enables the delivery of an even more solid, comprehensive and high-quality offering to the market.

These operations reaffirm UFINET’s leadership in the region and reinforce the commitment to replicate its successful operating model both in Chile and Panama, with a portfolio of services based on dark fibre optics, connectivity, IP transit, data centre and towering, among others.
