Project scope and objective

The transaction consists of the IDB Group participation in the long term debt financing for the peak funding needs for the deployment of the Mexican Government-sponsored Red Compartida public private partnership (the “Project” or “Red Compartida”) for an aggregate amount of up to US$150 million. The roll-out of Red Compartida is expected to generate an investment in excess of US$7 billion over the 20-year life of the concession. Altán Redes S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Altán”) was awarded the international tender process for the design, deployment, operation and maintenance of Red Compartida by the Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation in November 2016.

Red Compartida will be the first and only Mexican neutral wholesale 4G LTE mobile communications network that will provide mobile broadband coverage to at least 92.2% of the Mexican population. Structured as a public-private partnership, Red Compartida is expected to provide multiple benefits to the population, such as: increase high speed wireless broadband coverage, improve the quality of telecommunication services, contribute to lowering mobile telecommunication prices, allow for more competition in the telecommunication sector, promote productivity and competitiveness of the Mexican economy, foster innovation in digital services, and allow for better and more efficient use of the spectrum.
