Arsat, a state-owned company headquartered in Argentina, was founded in 2006 and employs approximately 610 individuals. The company specializes in connectivity and distribution services, providing telecommunications services through a combination of terrestrial, aerial, and space infrastructures.
Federal prosecutors on June 10, 2026, requested the questioning of 10 former ARSAT officials and private-sector executives as part of an expanding investigation into alleged corruption, bribery, and fraud involving the Argentine state telecommunications company. Prosecutor Fernando Domínguez filed the request after federal judge Lino Mirabelli lifted a secrecy order surrounding the case, which investigators say has uncovered suspected irregularities linked to contracts awarded between 2020 and 2024. Previously, on April 29, 2026, ARSAT opened a public procurement process for a $17 million contract to expand its data center in Benavidez, Buenos Aires province. This expansion involves the design, construction, equipment provision, and commissioning of a new Tier III room, "Room/Hall IV," along with a 50 percent expansion of the AMS chest room, a high-security space for strategic equipment.
