Latin America. Given the growth of fixed and mobile connection requirements in Latin America, as well as video communities, SES has promising growth in the region, said Jurandir Pitsch, VP of Commercial Sales for South America of the company of Iberian origin.
"We have 11 satellites in operation in Latin America, three more in manufacturing and for launch in the next two years. We believe a lot in market growth and in the two verticals that we work the most, data and video. We also invest in the data area, we have growth in mobile area to support 3G and 4G; we have growth in video area in the migration of channels from SD to HD and now it is accelerating throughout Latin America. And we have aeromobility to put internet on airplanes, now that demand is growing and we have to support with satellite infrastructure, because there is no other way to do it," he said during his participation in Convergencia Show 2017, held in Mexico City.
He added: "We have technologies to support all verticals, OTT, IPTV. We don't see a competition, we see an alternative and market for us. Many people forget that the satellite is part of the infrastructure and is in the background we have. We have statistical data that tells us that the visibility of linear television continues to grow the number of hours, that people watching linear TV grew; also OTT has grown a lot."
