Peruvian Telecommunications Company Deploys Highly Secure Satellite Connectivity Infrastructure in Remote Areas
Download Case StudyOverview
Internet Para Todos, or “Internet for All,” is a rural mobile infrastructure operator based in Peru. In 2023, IPT selected a low-orbit satellite internet service to connect stations in remote locations that lack multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) lines. However, as the low-orbit satellite connection reaches IPT’s central hub via the public internet, the company needed a way to secure the transfer of data and meet customer SLAs.
IPT selected Fortinet to add an extra layer of security to its network. IPT now uses a FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) at each of its 65 remote sites, and one in its central hub, to create a secure tunnel for the operators using its network. The goal is to have approximately 300 stations with low-orbit satellite internet service integrated into the network, each featuring a FortiGate NGFW. Thanks to Fortinet, IPT can guarantee end-to-end security for both the mobile infrastructure and the end-users who use the network.
“Fortinet helped us find the best solution from a technical and cost-efficient standpoint for the challenges related to security, centralized connectivity, multiple outbound paths, and bandwidths that ensure the proper delivery of 4G mobile service.”
