Rapid increase in LTE base stations across Argentina assists in 5G trials

摘要

Argentina has one of the highest broadband penetration rates in Latin America, supported by investment among operators as well as a number of government programs aimed at extending the reach of services. The Government funded Federal Fiber-Optic Network is aiming to connect 2,600 localities across the country accounting for approximately 90% of the population. Although the country's economic and political difficulties during the last decade have impacted on sector investments there have been steady improvements in recent quarters, with a considerable proportion of investment being earmarked for expanding fiber networks beyond areas of the principal cities.
