Telecommunications infrastructure company Mexico Telecom Partners (MTP) has inaugurated the second phase of its peripheral data center in Mérida, Yucatán.

Announced this week by the Mexican Association of Data Centers on LinkedIn, the launch event included the participation of "key guests" and a tour of the data center's facilities, where its potential to "boost connectivity and digitalization in the region was demonstrated."

By 2023, MTP claimed to have invested more than 8 billion pesos ($426m) in digital services in Mexico.

"As an example of this, we have installed more than 3,300 antennas throughout the country, representing 76 percent of telecommunications coverage in Mexico," said José Sola, CEO of MTP, during the inauguration of the second phase of the company's data center in Santa Fe, Mexico City, in November 2023.

MTP has 60 Edge data centers in 19 cities in Mexico with a capacity of 11MW, in addition to an enterprise data center in Santa Fe.

In April 2024, MTP joined Fermaca Networks' Fermaca Fiber Partners program to offer combined dark fiber, micro data center, and tower services to meet regional connectivity needs.

MTP is a provider of mobile tower space, distributed antenna systems, small cells, and data centers to telcos and service providers.

The company was founded in 2014 after the merger of several companies, and with the backing of private equity firms Macquarie Asset Management and DigitalBridge. The company claims to be the largest and fastest-growing private telecommunications infrastructure operator in Mexico.
