In Mexico, AT&T is making a big bet on business parks, where it now holds one-third of its corporate space nationwide, according to SiiLA data. It recently reinforced that strategy by absorbing 1,700 sqm in Guadalajara's TechParc, where it now occupies 14,800 sqm, in addition to another 4,500 sqm spread between Tecnoparque and Centrum Park in the central region of the country.

The preference for business parks reflects the type of operation the company is looking to consolidate in Mexico.

A business park is a private complex that brings together companies in goods, services and administrative operations, with shared infrastructure and centralized management. Unlike an industrial park, it is not focused on heavy manufacturing or high-impact processes, but on corporate support and back-office activities—such as offices, technology, light logistics and specialized retail—that require efficiency, strategic location and a safe, controlled environment.

These facilities are ideal for integrating functions, reducing operating costs and consolidating presence in strategic markets, especially for businesses that—like AT&T—are no longer in a market-entry phase, but in one of optimization.

Today, Mexico accounts for roughly 3.5% of AT&T's global revenues and about 2.3% of its physical infrastructure. Although it is still small compared with the United States, the Mexican market moved from losses to profits starting in 2024 and now concentrates virtually all (97%) of its direct telecommunications operations in Latin America, following the sale of regional assets such as DIRECTV and Vrio. In this context, the country has become a profitable, efficient operating hub whose value does not stem from volume but from average revenue per user (ARPU), business stability, and an optimized network, run mainly through AT&T and Unefon.

Within that operating framework, the company has focused its corporate footprint on the regions with the highest mobile-phone adoption in the country—measured as the share of users relative to the population—which are also among the most advanced markets in digital consumption: Mexico City, the State of Mexico and Jalisco, according to INEGI and the IFT. This decision reflects not only demographic size or number of users, but also the economic weight and network traffic generated in these corridors, where a large share of consumption, business activity and demand underpinning the telecom business in Mexico is concentrated.

In that regard, SiiLA data show that Mexico's capital and its metropolitan area account for 52% of the telecom sector's industrial and corporate gross leasable area. In contrast, Guadalajara—Jalisco's capital—is the fifth-largest market, with a 5% share.

The choice of these corridors reveals what AT&T is really prioritizing in Mexico: a compact corporate network installed in hubs where infrastructure, the critical mass of users, and sustained demand converge. These are regions where infrastructure delivers higher returns and where incremental expansion generates greater efficiency without dispersing control or administrative centers.
