Enabling AI adoption across Latin America
As AI adoption accelerates globally, the need for robust digital infrastructure is becoming increasingly urgent. Latin America represents a massive opportunity, with a young, tech-savvy population and rapidly growing digital economies.
However, without reliable connectivity, many businesses and consumers remain unable to fully participate in the AI revolution. Somos aims to change that.
By delivering affordable, high-speed Internet at scale, the company is enabling a new generation of applications – from AI-powered customer service and fintech platforms to remote work, education and healthcare solutions.
The company’ s focus on both residential and enterprise markets ensures that its impact is broadbased, supporting innovation across sectors.
Expansion into Mexico: A strategic move
The launch in Mexico City represents a critical step in Somos’ regional strategy. As one of Latin America’ s largest and most important urban centres, Mexico City offers a substantial market opportunity and a gateway to further expansion across the region.
The company plans to replicate its Colombia playbook – leveraging its FiberX architecture, vertically integrated model and customer-first approach – to rapidly gain market share.
What’ s next for Somos
• Colombia expansion: Tripling serviceable footprint in 2026
• Mexico launch: Entering Mexico City as first international market
• Enterprise growth: Expanding partnerships with major tech companies
• Product innovation: Continued development of proprietary hardware like the Orb
• AI integration: Enhancing customer experience and network operations
Why vertical integration matters
• Lower costs: Eliminates reliance on third-party infrastructure
• Faster deployment: Streamlined rollout across cities and regions
• Product innovation: Full control over hardware and software stack
• New revenue streams: Enterprise solutions, hardware and digital services
• Scalability: Replicable model across multiple geographies
About Somos Internet
Somos Internet is a vertically integrated fibre provider building AI-ready digital infrastructure across Latin America. Headquartered in Colombia, the company delivers high-speed, reliable connectivity to residential and enterprise customers through its proprietary FiberX architecture. With a focus on affordability, performance and innovation, Somos is redefining Internet access for the AI era.
Success in Mexico could position Somos as a leading pan-regional infrastructure provider, capable of serving both local businesses and global technology companies operating in Latin America.
The bigger picture
The Series B funding round underscores growing investor confidence in the role of infrastructure in shaping the future of AI. While much of the attention in AI has focused on models and applications, companies like Somos are building the foundational layers that make those innovations possible.
By combining affordability, performance and scalability, Somos is not only transforming connectivity in Latin America but also enabling the region to fully participate in the global AI economy.
As the company scales its operations and expands into new markets, its impact is likely to extend far beyond Internet access – reshaping how millions of people live, work and interact in an increasingly connected world. • www. intelligentcio. com
