"We are going to be pioneers", stressed the president of Antel, Andrés Tolosa, during the inauguration of the company stand in Expo Prado 2017, announcing that Antel is already developing 5G technology for the mobile phone network, impelling a new wave in Uruguay’s telecommunications. He added that this jump is possible thanks to investments in infrastructure and technology made in recent years.
At the same time, he clarified that work deploying fourth generation LTE technology to cover the entire national territory is underway, especially the rural areas. In this line, he added that this jump in quality is possible due to the infrastructure in telecommunications and information and communications technologies, driven and developed by the company during the last decade, which includes fiber optics in much of the territory.
