NextPlat Corp (NASDAQ: NXPL, NXPLW) has announced a major expansion of its Orbital Satcom North American operations into five South American markets through the launch of online storefronts on Mercado Libre, the largest e-commerce platform in Latin America. The new sites will serve customers in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Colombia, offering wireless and satellite-based connectivity products operating on commercial satellite networks including Globalstar, Iridium and Inmarsat.
The company said the expansion targets growing regional demand for satellite-enabled voice, data, tracking and safety solutions across South America’s approximately 440 million residents, with additional market launches planned in the second quarter of 2026. By leveraging Mercado Libre's extensive reach, NextPlat aims to tap into a large and underserved market for satellite communications in the region.
This strategic move underscores NextPlat's commitment to expanding its global footprint in the satellite communications sector. The company's e-Commerce communications division offers voice, data, tracking, and IoT products and services worldwide. Through acquisitions, joint ventures, and collaborations, NextPlat seeks to assist businesses in selling their goods online, domestically and internationally, allowing customers and partners to optimize their e-Commerce presence and revenue.
The expansion comes as demand for reliable connectivity solutions continues to rise in Latin America, where geographic and infrastructure challenges often limit access to traditional communication networks. Satellite-based services can provide critical connectivity for remote areas, supporting applications in agriculture, mining, maritime, and emergency response.
NextPlat’s move to utilize Mercado Libre, a platform with millions of active users across Latin America, could significantly accelerate customer acquisition and brand recognition in these new markets. The company’s product portfolio includes devices that operate on Globalstar, Iridium, and Inmarsat networks, offering a range of solutions from basic voice and data to advanced tracking and safety features.
