FAQ

Which LATAM countries are growing fiber fastest?

Uruguay leads on rural universal coverage. Chile, Brazil and Mexico drive the largest absolute fiber additions. Colombia and Peru are the fastest-growing mid-size markets in 2026.

What does a national FTTH plan mean for splice closure buyers?

A new rural fiber program usually means 12–96 core dome closures on poles, horizontal closures in handholes, and small 1-in-4-out nodes on every street corner. Plan inventory 6–12 months ahead.

Do LATAM projects prefer mechanical or heat-shrink closures?

Most large operators (Claro, Entel, Millicom) specify re-enterable mechanical-seal domes for future network reconfiguration. Heat-shrink closures are still common in cost-sensitive aerial builds.

Can DEJU supply LATAM projects locally?
