Since ViaSat-2 will expand the company's service area to parts of Central and South America, it is also experimenting with bringing satellite internet to a single access point in small villages, and then distributing it to people's devices via Wi-Fi.
"Many villages within our trial program have no, or minimal access to fixed broadband internet services. Our trial work has shown that we can service thousands of villages-at-scale," Kevin Cohen, ViaSat's General Manager of Mexico Consumer Services, said in a statement.
