Telefónica del Sur is the principal telecommunications company in the south of Chile, with more than 300,000 customers, thanks to the multiple products and services it offers between Concepción and Coyhaique.

 With the launching in 2007 of WiTV, its new IP digital television service, the company completed a further step in its strategy of differentiation in the market and diversification of sources of revenues, firmly entering the subscribed and triple-pack (telephone, internet and television) television segment, with important advantages and technological differentiation compared to the existing services, as WiTV is 100% IP and uses a broad band network based on fiber optic to the home and 20 megas for each home. It permits the interactivity of the customer with the television system and convergence with internet, plus a 100% wireless connection with the home.

 WiTV complements the 2006 launching of local portable telephony with PHS technology through the product “SuperInalámbrico”. Today there are over 53,000 customers with portable telephone terminals, fixed numbers and portable telephone service, operating in the principal cities between Temuco and Coyhaique. In addition, the service was launched to the business segment during 2007 with the new “Centrex Convergente” product, which permits unlimited calls between the fixed and portable lines of a customer as if they were extensions of their private telephone network.

A special mention should be made of the construction of the fiber optic network linking Chiloé, Palena and Aysén, over 830 kilometers in length, 130 km. of which are underwater. These zones are therefore now connected to the rest of Chile by fiber optics, permitting the future supply of the latest-generation services in order to provide further development, education, culture and entertainment to the inhabitants of the towns located on the route of the line.
