Our first achievement, months after starting quarter wise we managed to participate in the Aguascalientes 2019 Hackaton “Smart mobility, cities summits”, registering two teams of newly entered students one of whom managed to rank in the top 10 of the competition.
This contest was the trigger in the region, as we managed to establish the alliance between Grupo Telecom México and our University. Through one of its subsidiaries, in 2020 we managed to build the first 10Giga Zone, more than 6.5 km of fiber optics, creating a dedicated link to our new campus in Villas de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. That turned UTMA into the only one institution offering an international level of connectivity not only in the state of Aguascalientes, but in the Centro-Bajío Region and unique nationally in the DGUTyP.

As said above, now we are spearhead in connectivity and internet speed. In addition, we have top-notch infrastructure. More than 250 solar panels feed our two buildings and equipment, reducing emissions and the amount of energy demanded by direct line by more than 90%. All this monitored 24/7 connected to our powerful network. It also allows us to connect the more than 50 IP cameras, intelligent lighting, air conditioning and VoIP connection.
UT Metropolitana bears four IT laboratories of which, 2 are used for software development, one for languages and one more that is being equipped for our Virtual Reality project ; this is part of our positioning, since in addition to being a center for simulation and training in the Virtual Reality grounds, it will become a development center, supported by the alliance of our entrepreneur friends and the brand-new software incubator that is being started just in May of this year.
