Infrastructure development: Significant updates being implemented in five Mexican regions
MX Fiber and Nokia Partner to Boost Internet Connectivity in Southeast Mexico
MX Fibre, a telecom infrastructure company in Mexico, has partnered with Nokia to roll out a new high-speed optical transport backbone network. This partnership is significantly advancing internet connectivity in Southeast Mexico, including regions like Chiapas, Tabasco, and Quintana Roo.
The network, spanning 1,800 km, is constructed using Nokia's Flex-Grid DWDM technology and 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS). With an initial capacity of 10G, 100G, and 200G services, the network offers scalable capacities that can be seamlessly upgraded to 400G and 800G in the future, without any service disruption.
The network is designed to provide gigabit access and improve digital infrastructure in a historically underserved area with a large population. It supports faster internet, enhanced cloud access, and better data-intensive application performance for residents and businesses.
The deployment also underpins major regional infrastructure projects such as the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and the Maya Train, which aim to spur economic development and digital inclusion.
Nokia's advanced optical networking solutions feature dynamic network management and real-time performance monitoring via Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (OTDR). This ensures robust, reliable, and future-ready connectivity while lowering operational costs for MX Fiber and enhancing service quality for customers.
The first phase of the project will target Chiapas, Tabasco, and Quintana Roo. Campeche and Veracruz are set to follow in the near future. The new network is aimed at improving connectivity, boosting trade, tourism, and development in the targeted regions.
The MX Fiber project is not Nokia's first push into underserved areas. The company has been involved in rural broadband efforts in Brazil and is deploying subaquatic fibre networks in the remote tri-border region where Peru, Colombia, and Brazil meet.
The project could give more people and businesses in the targeted regions the kind of internet access they've been missing. Mexico is making significant strides to improve its internet connectivity, and the MX Fiber project is a testament to this commitment.
The Mexican government has established a new regulatory body to reform its telecom sector, which could pave the way for more such partnerships and initiatives in the future. Whether it will fully close the connectivity gap remains uncertain, but the network could deliver on its capacity and coverage promises, providing a much-needed boost to the digital economy in Southeast Mexico.
