Boeing is building two high-power satellites for Mexico as part of the Latin American country's program of boosting information security and expanding networks to remote underdeveloped areas. The Boeing Co. said it completed the first of two 702HP geomobile satellites, named Centenario, for deployment by Mexico's new Mexsat end-to-end satellite communications system.

Boeing is the overall integrator for the Mexsat system, which comprises three satellites, two ground network and satellite control stations in Mexico, associated network operations systems, and 67 reference user terminals.
