Case Study: Hughes achieves wider internet access across Latin America with Indio Connect by Indio Networks

Hughes connects 2,500+ hotspots with Indio Networks

Hughes, a leader in VSAT-based connectivity, faced the challenge of providing internet access to remote areas of Latin America with low penetration rates and impractical infrastructure. Partnering with vendor Indio Networks, they needed an easy-to-deploy WiFi system to monetize services and bridge the digital divide after the closure of Facebook’s ExpressWiFi platform.

Indio Networks implemented its Indio Connect solution, a comprehensive cloud-based WiFi management platform with user-friendly applications for distributors, retailers, and end-users. This included a micro-billing system to facilitate the service. The vendor helped deploy over 2500 hotspots, connecting millions of people and generating over $160,000 in monthly revenue, significantly reducing the digital divide across Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru.
