“We are putting a link with Starlink to be able to have connectivity in 100% of the park, with which more than 500 devices will be able to connect simultaneously,” explained the Secretary of Innovation.
The Ministry of Innovation has already installed satellite internet in places like Santa Tecla, Ahuachapán, Atiquizaya and La Libertad. The main objective is that the Internet connection is available to everyone and that it is no longer something exclusive.
