What Andesat does

Andesat Perú is a privately held satellite communications company headquartered in Miraflores, Lima, Peru, operating as part of the regional Grupo Andesat conglomerate (which also has operations in Chile, Argentina, and Ecuador). The company's core technology stack consists of three owned teleports located in Peru, Argentina, and Chile, combined with leased capacity on six geostationary satellites from Intelsat (IS14, IS35e Epic, IS37e), Eutelsat (117WB), SES (SES14), and Telesat (T19V). Andesat is described as the only operator in the region offering triple satellite and teleport redundancy with multiband coverage, supported by a Global NMS (Network Management System) integrated with iDirect that enables automatic failover between teleports in case of signal loss. The Andesat 1 satellite is positioned as the first satellite dedicated exclusively to Peru.

The company sells a portfolio of connectivity and value-added services on a subscription/recurring revenue model. Core connectivity offerings include fixed satellite internet, mobile connectivity for ground vehicles and trains, maritime connectivity, cellular backhaul (2G/3G/4G LTE) for rural extension, and backup/redundancy services for terrestrial networks. Value-added services include IIoT data capture and custom solution design, integrated video surveillance and radar systems, and the proprietary Control-Suite aquaculture biomass management software, which integrates with SAP and other enterprise systems. Andesat serves enterprise customers across multiple verticals — mining, agriculture, petroleum/gas, transportation, aquaculture, and telecom operators — through a direct enterprise field-sales motion, with solutions customized to each client's operational requirements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are bespoke.

Commercially, the company operates the Te Conectamos Perú initiative under the OIMR (Operador de Infraestructura Móvil Rural) regulatory framework, deploying cellular backhaul infrastructure to extend mobile network coverage to rural greenfield areas of Peru. Andesat markets primarily through its corporate website, an English/Spanish content portal, institutional video content, and direct contact forms. Geographic reach covers South America excluding Brazil. No public revenue, funding, employee count, or named-customer disclosures are available in the source material.

Broad incumbents

• SES Networks: Global satellite operator providing GEO/MEO capacity (including SES-14 used by Andesat) and enterprise managed services across the Americas — incumbent capacity supplier that competes both as a wholesale partner and a direct provider in Andesat's enterprise verticals.
• Hispasat: Spanish satellite operator with Latin American coverage (Hispamar in Brazil, others in the Andean region) providing wholesale capacity and enterprise services — broader incumbent that competes as capacity supplier and integrator across Andesat's markets.
• Viasat: Global satellite communications company with both consumer and enterprise offerings across the Americas — operates at a much larger scale but overlaps with Andesat in enterprise/government connectivity and increasingly in hybrid GEO/LEO enterprise solutions.
• Hughes Network Systems (Latin America division): Major global VSAT and satellite broadband provider with established operations across Latin America serving enterprise, government, and SMB customers — broader portfolio and more global scale but overlapping product (enterprise VSAT), customer base (multi-branch enterprises), and technology stack.
• Intelsat: One of Andesat's primary satellite capacity partners (IS14, IS35e, IS37e) and a global GEO operator with significant Latin American coverage — sits upstream of Andesat as a wholesale capacity supplier but also competes in integrated managed services for enterprise customers in the region.

Direct peers

• Speedcast Communications: Globally distributed enterprise satellite communications and managed services provider with significant Latin American and maritime presence serving energy, mining, maritime, and government customers — comparable multi-orbit, multi-vertical enterprise connectivity model.
• Globalsat Group: Latin American satellite communications integrator offering enterprise VSAT, M2M/IoT, and remote-site connectivity to mining, agriculture, energy, and government customers across multiple Andean and Southern Cone countries — directly comparable regional scope, customer verticals, and reseller/integrator business model to Andesat.
• Gilat Satellite Networks: Israel-headquartered specialist in enterprise satellite ground equipment, VSAT networks, and IIoT/connectivity solutions serving defense, commercial, and enterprise verticals — directly comparable in the satellite-based enterprise connectivity and IIoT/remote-site management layer.
• Axesat (now part of Speedcast / Liberty Group LatAm): Colombian-headquartered enterprise satellite connectivity provider serving mining, oil & gas, retail, banking, and government customers across Colombia, Peru, Chile, and Central America — same Andean focus, same enterprise verticals, same VSAT-based managed connectivity model as Andesat.

Regional players

• ARSAT (Argentina): Argentine state-owned satellite and telecommunications operator providing connectivity services across Argentina including to remote and underserved regions — comparable mission of extending rural/enterprise connectivity in the Southern Cone, though state-owned and primarily domestic.
