Mexico's "Red Troncal" Project

Bid process for domestic and international investment in the project

The 2013 amendments to the Mexican Constitution and Mexico's new Telecom Law require Mexico's federal government to build a nationwide fiber optic backbone network, which will be called the Red Troncal.

TELECOMM, a Mexican federal governmental agency entitled to administer and expand the state-owned public telecommunications networks (satellite, maritime or telegraph-based), will be in charge of organizing a bid process to allow domestic and international investment in the Red Troncal project, which will be composed of fiber optic strands owned by Mexico's electric utility company (CFE).
