News Summary:
By September 30, 2026, Hispasat finalized a deal with Bolivia to provide 10Gbps at cost, aiming to connect schools, hospitals, and border posts in isolated areas, while also opening the possibility for Bolivia to join the regional Condosat initiative. On the same day, the Spanish satellite operator strengthened its presence in Latin America by signing an agreement to acquire the management and signal transport business of Media Networks Latin America, having also recently supported a rail connectivity trial in Poland. Earlier on September 30, Hispasat’s owner, Spanish state-backed ICT group Indra, overhauled its top management, reducing its management committee from 15 to 11 members, with five executives departing and four internal promotions, ahead of a new strategic plan scheduled for November 25. This development followed Hispasat's signing of a memorandum of understanding on September 29 with Bolivia's Ministry of Public Works to launch a satellite connectivity pilot, an initiative falling under the European Union's Global Gateway strategy. Previously, on September 18, Hispasat secured the ground segment for Europe’s €15.6 billion IRIS² initiative, with Airbus Aerospacelab, Thales Alenia Space, and OHB building the core constellation.
