Mercado Libre and Rappi – organisations that require robust, low-latency infrastructure to support logistics, payments and realtime data operations.
Looking ahead, Somos projects continued acceleration in 2026. The company plans to more than triple its serviceable footprint in Colombia while simultaneously launching operations in Mexico City, marking its first expansion beyond its home market.
Building‘ FiberX’ for the AI future
At the core of Somos’ strategy is its proprietary network architecture, known as FiberX. Unlike traditional ISPs that rely on shared bandwidth models, FiberX is designed to deliver dedicated fibre connectivity directly to each home or business – mirroring the performance and reliability standards of modern data centres.
This new capital allows the Somos flywheel to approach escape velocity in Colombia and lays the groundwork to repeat the model in Mexico.
“ This new capital allows the Somos flywheel to approach escape velocity in Colombia and lays the groundwork to repeat the model in Mexico,” said Forrest Heath, CEO, Somos Internet.
“ We’ re building FiberX, our data centre – inspired network architecture that delivers dedicated fibre connectivity directly to every home, scales from 1G to 100G through simple module swaps, and uses dual fibre links for built-in redundancy.”
This architecture not only improves performance but also future-proofs the network for AI-driven applications, from real-time language models to edge computing and autonomous systems.
A vertically integrated advantage
One of Somos’ defining characteristics is its vertical integration. The company controls its
