Stretching over approximately 2.8 million square kilometres, including vast plateaus, densely populated cities, and even remote areas in Andean mountains and Patagonian steppe, Argentina's terrain presents a significant geographical challenge to the establishment of telecommunications networks. However, despite the population being largely concentrated in urban areas like Buenos Aires, innovative infrastructure solutions and robust policies have been implemented to enhance connectivity across the country. Argentina is recognised for its expansive fibre-optic network, which is one of the largest in South America. Argentina's state-owned satellite internet company Arsat, which operates its ARSAT-1, ARSAT-2, and ARSAT-SG1 fleet, offers free internet access to regional and remote towns across the country.
