Local Economies & Communities

Helping communities grow and thrive

Across Mexico, local economies are the backbone of everyday life—from small businesses and family-run shops to vibrant tourism hubs like the Pueblos Mágicos.

But growth is often limited by access.

Without reliable connectivity, it can be harder for businesses to reach new customers, accept digital payments, or participate in a broader, increasingly digital economy.

When communities are better connected, local businesses gain the tools to grow, expanding beyond their immediate geography and connecting with new opportunities.

What cloud-native connectivity enables:

  • Greater access to customers and markets

  • Adoption of digital payments and tools

  • Stronger, more resilient local economies

For small business owners, this can mean the ability to grow, adapt, build and sustain more stable livelihoods.

Thriving communities are built on access and opportunity.

Better connectivity can help ensure that growth is not limited by geography, but shared more broadly across regions

CASE STUDY

Challenge

Billpocket, a Mexican financial and mobile payments technology company, transforms mobile devices into POS systems, enabling vendors to accept digital payments.

For many of Billpocket’s customers—small business owners, market vendors, and local entrepreneurs—reliable connectivity is essential to running their businesses. When connectivity is inconsistent, transactions can fail, sales can be lost, and customer trust can be impacted.

With a single connectivity provider for its POS systems, Billpocket experienced inconsistent service in areas with poor network coverage, affecting transaction reliability and overall user experience.

Solution

Switching to OXIO’s cloud-native, multi-carrier network, Billpocket found a comprehensive solution to their challenges by increasing reliability, visibility and network coverage. The results included:

  • 15% increase in POS transactions through enhanced network reliability

  • Reduction in connectivity frustration felt by both employees and customers

  • Streamlined and modernized deployment through eSIM capabilities with huge time savings

  • More flexible, optimized data plans, lowering overall connectivity costs

Why this matters

For small businesses, every transaction counts.

Reliable connectivity helps ensure that payments go through, customers are served, and businesses can operate with confidence—supporting stronger local economies and more resilient communities.

Local growth shouldn’t be constrained by geography and outdated infrastructure.

Better connectivity can help unlock:

Connected communities

Stronger small businesses

Access to new customers

Expanded digital commerce

Regional growth

This is what a more flexible, digital telecom model can make possible.
