What makes Arequipa different
As a city in Peru, Arequipa has its own mix of connections. Arequipa has about 1.2 million residents, from dense centres with busy mobile networks to suburbs where home upload speed is what limits streaming.
Arequipa sits at roughly 2,397 m; in mountain terrain the signal comes and goes, and adaptive streaming keeps the film going.

On the move from Arequipa
Heading to Cusco (about 322 km) or Lima (765 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into Bolivia? La Paz is about 361 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Arequipa
Does it support Spanish and Quechua subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Spanish and Quechua or any other language.
Will it work on the way to Cusco?
It does. Between Arequipa and Cusco (about 322 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
How much mobile data does a film use in Arequipa?
Measured: 1.0 GB per HD hour with Silux Media versus 2.7 GB with Plex for an identical picture — the same film, under half the data.
Can I watch my films in Bolivia?
Anywhere, Bolivia included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Does it work at altitude around Arequipa?
The altitude doesn't matter to the server — but mountain terrain makes mobile signal patchy, and adaptive quality keeps films playing through it.
Can I watch my own films in Arequipa?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Arequipa or wherever you take them.
