AmigoLatino a company that connects immigrants in the United States with their families in Latin America through affordable, face-to-face video conferencing technology, is excited to announce its partnership with Ultra Telecom to jointly expand the highly anticipated family video conferencing services in Mexico.
Amigo Live, AmigoLatino's affordable video conferencing service that helps connect families and communities face-to-face and in real-time, is now available in Puebla and Aguascalientes,
Mexico. Thanks to a partnership with Ultra Telecom, a leading Mexican media company with a team of visionary executives, the families of Puebla and Aguascalientes can now reconnect live
via high-end video conferences, with their loved ones in the United States.
"We have a very strong commitment to our community, so we are very excited to be working with AmigoLatino to provide this valuable service to the thousands of families and community
groups in Puebla and Aguascalientes that have relatives and contacts in the United States," said Arturo Zorrilla, Vice President of Ultra Telecom who is in charge of overseeing the Amigo
Live project.
"Through our initiative to democratize access to affordable business-quality video conferencing services to under served markets, thousands of families have been able to enjoy the live,
visual presence of their distant loved ones. It is really the closest thing to being there with them," said Gabriel Biguria, Founder and CEO of AmigoLatino. "We are extremely excited
about our partnership with Ultra Telecom, a leading Mexican company with global aspirations that shares our vision and passion to better serve our communities and countries through the
democratization of technology."
With an estimated 28 million Mexican immigrants living in the US, of which over 1.5 million are Poblanos from Puebla, the decision to serve the needs of this important market was an
obvious one. Very soon, the companies plan to jointly expand the services into other key states with large populations of immigrants including Michoacan, Oaxaca and Jalisco.
