The Maya Project will be ready in June 2025

It consists of 400 kilometers of fiber optic cable capable of transmitting more than 96 Tbps of data through a pair of strands. The triduct has already completed more than half of its route, spanning from Mérida to Cancún and Playa del Carmen. "We are connecting the southeast to the country, and the country to the world," highlighted Néstor Bergero, CEO of the company. The Maya Project is the first major telecommunications infrastructure initiative undertaken by the new management of MXT Holdings.

The fiber optic backbone being installed will provide connectivity to a region that welcomes around 20 million tourists per year and is home to over 4 million residents.

Additionally, its presence is strategically significant, considering the international tourism in the area and the data traffic through submarine cables that arrive at these ports. To achieve the board’s target, the operations team implemented a 24/7 plan that allows crews to work in continuous shifts, including nighttime operations.

A key aspect of this project is that MXT Holdings is a telecommunications company that operates under a "neutral carrier" service model.

Therefore, the triduct will be available for all companies in the southeast that require data traffic services for their customers, allowing them to lease fiber strands according to their needs.

“We are changing the way business is done in this industry” said Néstor Bergero, CEO of the company, in a recent interview with the Argentine newspaper Ámbito Financiero. His statement refers to the ever-growing demand for connectivity, which makes it inefficient for companies dealing directly with end customers to invest in infrastructure.

“The southeast has always been left behind, - explained Pablo Mijares, company’s head of commercial department - but it is precisely where the need for connectivity is greatest. I see it both as a challenge and an opportunity.”

The Maya Project brings connectivity to the southeast region of Mexico with the highest standards of quality and sustainability. Neutral networks promote efficient connectivity — resulting in lower carbon emissions, more providers with competitive prices, and improved communication.
