"""Internet para Todos (IPT) was born as a global collaborative initiative between Telefónica and Meta to bridge the digital divide in Latin America, under a sustainable and innovative model that would overcome the obstacles related to bringing connectivity to rural areas with high geographical complexity. This initiative is joined by IDB Invest and CAF, which guided by the same goal of connecting the unconnected and confident that connectivity is an important lever for the development and transformation of people’s lives, consolidates the new company IPT as a Rural Mobile Infrastructure Operator – OIMR in Peru, starting operations on May 1st, 2019.

IPT is based on an innovative, open, collaborative and sustainable model, which allows the deployment of mobile internet service in areas of high geographical complexity, under technologies and disruptive processes that transform traditional networks and structures, overcoming technical and economic barriers that had not previously allowed to increase connectivity in rural areas; this in line with our solid commitment with integrity, safety and health, respect for our environment and the communities in which we operate. For this reason, IPT contributes to the following Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and infrastructure
SDG 10 Reduced inequalities
SDG 4 Quality Education
SDG 8 Decent work and economic growth
SDG 5 Gender Equality
SDG 17 Partnerships for the goals"""

"IPT has proven successful and efficient in Peru. Its impact has been inspirational for all who participate in making it happen. It´s become a dream to extend it to the rest of Latin America, mainly in the countries where Telefonica operates. It´s likely that the next IPT will be developed in Colombia."

"""IPT first set out to connect 6 million people in Peru with no access to the internet, mostly in rural areas. IPT first begun in 2019 and its infrastructure supports up to three different mobile operators under RAN sharing, without any additional investment. Unlike WIFI that can only connect a maximum of ten people across 100 mts, IPT offers high quality 4G mobile internet that covers between 2km and 5km, benefiting proximately 500 people. IPT uses terrestrial transport means like optical fibre and microwave radios to escalate and amplify capacity according to the traffic needs of the population that is being covered."""
