News Summary:
On July 24, 2026, Chilean telecommunications firm Gtd activated a new point of presence (PoP) at Ascenty's Quilicura data centre in Santiago. This PoP aims to enhance network redundancy and expand access to high-availability services for operators, ISPs, and integrators, integrating into Gtd's DWDM-OTN optical transport network which connects 10 data centres in the capital and the Prat submarine cable. Previously, on June 11, 2026, Chilean utility Colbun signed an agreement to supply 100% renewable electricity to Gtd. This power, certified through the International Renewable Energy Certificate (I-REC) system, will serve three of Gtd's critical infrastructure facilities, including a data centre in Santiago, alongside other facilities in Huechuraba, Santiago, and Valdivia. Earlier, on February 1, 2026, Gtd updated its Sustainability Agenda for 2025, aligning it with international standards and focusing on shared value generation as part of its 2030 strategy.
