Alexander Karpenko, Business Development Director for LATAM at Aipix, had the opportunity to explore the Peru ISP trends at the Expo ISP Peru 2026. He gathered valuable industry insights, and establish meaningful connections with local partners. Now he’s ready to share his overview on the insights he has got.
For me, a visit to a country is rarely about discussing projects or presentations. Rather, I wanted to know the people behind the companies, their requirements, their goals and their problems. My impression is that in Peru, the people I met in the industry were highly professional and capable of coping with difficult situation. Although there is obviously political instability in the country, I believe that there are good chances for long-term cooperation.
My first visit to the Pacific Ocean was shocking to say the least, the power of the ocean and change of atmosphere had a lasting impression. There were many activities throughout the trip, but I had a chance to try to some of the well-known Peruvian foods. Some of the dishes were fresh and amazing like the ceviche and lomo saltado.
Unveiling Peru ISP trends
This experience allowed me to get a deeper insight and a broader vision of the Peruvian ISP Market and of the main factors that affect it.
Geographically dispersed data centres
The infrastructure maturity of Peru’s network infrastructure is evident in the latest statistics. By 2026, 15 data centers will be in operation, as well as 12 Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). This will lead to 57-68% of the most popular online content being stored and accessed locally. As it opposed to being accessed remotely via international networks.
During my visit, I explored that Peruvian ISPs often build geographically distributed data centres. These data centers are located in urban hubs – the central, northern, and southern regions. Instead of developing a country-wide network, ISPs decide to focus on building local data center infrastructure. They are covering the areas with the highest demand. In addition, some of the distributed data centres are not connected via dedicated fibre-optic networks. It creates challenges and opportunities for further development.
Fibre boom slowing down as one of Peru ISP trends: focus on the NAT-friendly solutions
Peru’s fibre market has reached a tipping point. By late 2025, the country had more than 3.6 million FTTH connections or 82% of the total fixed broadband subscriptions in the country. The research estimated them to be in the range of 4.3-4.4 million. The country has been one of the quickest to deploy fibre in Latin America over the last five years. Now it is transitioning from a phase of rapid expansion, to one of optimisation and monetisation of fibre assets.
The growth phase is slowly coming to an end. Governmental bodies hindered new projects. So service providers are starting to focus more on delivering digital services and charging for them, instead of focusing on building out infrastructure. This is one of the main reasons for the recent surge in interest for our products. It enables service delivery through NAT technology and also outside of the service providers own infrastructure.
Among the many objectives for Aipix in the future, according to the Aipix 2026 roadmap, will be to start working on the implementation of NAT compatible devices for the whole Latin American region. Aipix will reach it by providing cameras with built-in Camera Agent, bridges for multi-camera connection and intercoms. It is core to ensure that our partners and customers have all the tools to achieve the maximum development of the current and future projects.
Strict access rights for end users
One of the crucial needs for ISPs is to ensure that end users can see that their internet service provider fully manages the services. ISPs also clearly ensure them that their data remains visible and accessible only to them. Additionally, the platform architecture must guarantee controlled access rights and full security of each subscriber’s data.
How Aipix aligned with the data privacy requirements
The Aipix architecture includes all of the factors mentioned. We believe that long term data reliability, with a high level of quality and complete safety for users, guaranteed within our solution.
Access to the platform is provided via a secure HTTPS protocol, ensuring that all data transmitted over the Internet, especially user credentials, remains protected. Video archives are stored in a proprietary binary format, preventing unauthorized access or viewing.
The Aipix platform is designed with a multi-tenant architecture. It allows ISPs and organisations to deploy a single platform installation. And then offer services to clients using the same shared infrastructure. This approach allows ISPs to centrally manage services on shared infrastructure. While each client has a dedicated, private instance with secure and segregated data, including isolation of user equipment and stored video data.
Key security capabilities include:
- Separation of administrative and user APIs
- Strict role-based access between Administrators and Users
- Flexible access-right management
- Separation of public and private camera groups
- Logging and auditing of Administrator and User actions
This system architecture processes, transmits, and saves the video surveillance data within the system. It all includes strictly management for access control, data integrity and safety.
From ISP to XSP model: serving as one of Peru ISP trends
Many ISPs specialized in connectivity in LATAM, and in particular in Peru, are transforming themselves into Experience Service Providers (XSPs). There are trying to monetize the new digital services and experiences they are offering. With widespread broadband coverage and strong competition in Latin America, connectivity has become a commodity similar to water or electricity. As a result, operators are shifting their focus toward delivering digital services, enhanced experiences. Also with a focus added value rather than simply providing more data.
Things have changed a lot in Peru. 99.5% of households have at least one ISP service. Home internet penetration, though already a high 76.2% in 2019, is forecast to reach 92.6% by the end of 2024. Peru is a fully digital inclusion mass market now. And having almost all potential customers on broadband and mobile gives the operators a great opportunity to build a new revenue business. The legacy fixed access voice business is now only 4.6% of total accesses.
The explosion of data, 5G, cloud, AI and digital transformation are all generating new business opportunities in fields such as cloud, VSaaS, Smart Intercom, IoT and digital services.
Peru has a highly developed Latin American telecom and ISP market. The country enjoys a high level of internet penetration, with a widespread fibre-based network and a mature ISP sector . Where competition is tending towards saturation and little scope for future growth. Operators can now focus on the XSP business model, where the main focus is on digital services and user experience, Peru is one of the leading countries in Latin America for operators to become total digital service providers.
Aipix VSaaS Platform among Peru ISP trends: real feedback from the ISP market professionals
Face-to-face meetings are powerful for building relationships and increasing trust. And trust is the basis for almost all forms of collaboration. Regarding our solution, the feedback and interest that I received while networking, as well as during the public presentation and platform demonstration, can be presented as follows:
On-premise deployment. A key factor for our customers is having full control and sovereignty over the solution that we provide. In particular, they value highly that all data remains within their premises and is therefore not exposed to the open cloud or vendor camera lock-in.
Vendor-agnostic approach. It is clearly a strong market advantage. It allows ISPs to modernize their clients’ existing systems without replacing cameras. This is also an important aspect for our customers, as camera availability from different vendors is not always assured.
Open API. It enables seamless integration with ISPs systems like billing. This makes it possible to automate user management almost entirely – including onboarding users to the platform and disconnecting non-paying customers when necessary.
Video Analytics. One of the biggest surprises I have had is that in most of my foreign meetings around the world, Video Analytics has been considered a basic function. In Peru, for example, it is common to talk about VMS with AI (VMS con IA), which shows that the use of artificial intelligence in the VMS is considered an evolution and with a great value added.
White Label. Our clients and partners wish to sell and promote their own services without any reference to Aipix and our brand. We provide basic customisation such as a logo replacement, and will also publish your app to the relevant app stores at no charge as a part of the contract.
We also offer a free 3-month pilot. The system will be adjusted to fit your business and your customers needs. There is also an exchange of experience and coordination of the launch of your own VSaaS service – all provided from Aipix.
Conclusion: Building the Next Stage of Peru’s Digital Ecosystem
Peru’s ISP market is moving beyond connectivity toward service-driven growth. As fibre expansion stabilizes and competition increases, ISPs are increasingly transforming into Experience Service Providers, focusing on new digital services, stronger customer engagement, and sustainable monetization of existing networks.
The conversations during my visit confirmed that Peruvian operators are ready for this next stage. Success will depend on flexible technologies, secure platforms, and strong partnerships that help providers launch new services while maintaining control over their infrastructure and data.
