Hughes Network Systems LLC teamed up with Facebook Inc. to launch Wi-Fi hotspots throughout Colombia.
The hotspots will be supported by Facebook's Express Wi-Fi software platform, which helps service providers build, operate, grow and monetize their Wi-Fi business, the company said Sept. 4.
The offering will allow service providers and telecommunications companies to offer internet access to their customers on a prepaid basis.
The EchoStar Corp. unit recently teamed up with the social media giant to launch HughesNet Wi-Fi hotspots throughout Brazil and Mexico.
