Jetnet combines its own telecommunications infrastructure with affordable pricing to bring high-speed internet and phone services to underserved rural communities in Spain, improving digital inclusion and quality of life for both households and local businesses.

Spain’s last-mile delivery sector has expanded rapidly with the rise of e-commerce, particularly in grocery and prepared food segments.

The Solution

Jetnet deploys its own network to offer affordable, high-speed connectivity in remote areas. Its presence in very small towns (178 under 500 people) empowers local businesses, schools, and families to thrive digitally. Jetnet’s services are priced below major competitors, increasing affordability in low-density areas.
