Congestion

Brazil's leading commercial satellite operator slot. Embratel Star One serves Brazil's vast interior where fiber is absent: oil and gas platforms in the Santos Basin, agribusiness connectivity across the cerrado, government networks, and cellular backhaul for remote communities. One of the most strategically important slots in Latin America.
