Innovation Up Close: Galapagos Islands

Learn about Intelsat’s Innovation Up Close in the Galapagos Islands

A lack of connectivity has negatively impacted the daily lives and economic opportunities in the Galapagos Islands for years. Hear the story of Mateo Jaramillo, a music professor who shares how a new, robust, broadband infrastructure supported by Intelsat’s unique three satellite solution has enriched his personal and professional life and opened up new opportunities for the children he serves through his work. With the help of Intelsat, high-speed internet is connecting every corner of these remote islands to the rest of the world, facilitating access to education, healthcare services, and essential resources for remote communities, while also fostering economic opportunities for entrepreneurs and businesses across the islands who can broaden their markets and reach. With increased connectivity, tourism is flourishing as these islands – rich in culture and biodiversity – are now more accessible to the rest of the world.
