I read your post again about one office being at a work site in the
field somewhere. Even there, they should have, at the minimum, a
satellite connection to the Internet available to them.
Mexico City is one of the largest (most populous) cities in the world
and it is the capital city and I'm certain they will have excellent
connectivity.
Your field site will be much more problematic and probably slow
connectivity, but they will be online.
I don't know if Tel Mex has offices in the USA, I suspect that is
possible. If so, contact them there. If not, they will probably have
some people in their main office in Mexico, D.F. ("Mexico City", Ciudad
de Mexico) who are fluent in English and you can communicate with them
in English. One of our neighbors is an Electronics Engineer
(Telecommunications) as is his wife and he told me that all of his
university work in a public university here in Colombia was done in
English.
I'm from mexico city and there are several solutions for connecting your offices almost as in the US, CA, Europe.( ADSL, Cable, T1, T10, E1, Frame Relay, etc.).
Telmex is the BIGGEST communications company here and they DO have presence in the US, and there are other companies which can provide telecommunications solutions for your needs using of course Telmex infrastructure.
I am using several ADSL and Cable connections to communicate with associates and customers in the US, Japan, Argentina and Spain.
This is done using Multiwan Pfsense systems and we're running Win2K3, CentOS, RHEL and even Mac OS servers, and it's not too expensive as a T1 or E1 line, and we get almost the same connectivity.
If you need more info I'll be glad to help you, or even google would. ;-)
cheers,
Victor.
