Etecsa Expands Investments for Mobile Service Quality in Holguin

The Cuban Telecommunications Company (Etecsa) is installing 15 new base stations in areas of Holguin without prior access to the 4G network to improve mobile phone service in the province.

Darquiris Sánchez Castro, head of the company’s sales department in the province, informed CNA that these stations operate on a 2100 MHz Carrier. Which, compared to the previous 1800 MHz stations, doubles the access speed in the same locations.

He emphasized that mobile telephony is the main line, with the greatest impact and the one that generates approximately 80 percent of income. In addition to being the service contracted by more than 600,000 residents of Holguin.

The distribution of the new equipment responds to demand and the physical characteristics of the localities. Reaching areas such as Velasco, in Gibara; Levisa, in Mayari; Los Angeles, in Banes; and Fray Benito, in Rafael Freyre. Among others, where there was previously no 4G network.

He commented that sometimes, even when physical and transmission conditions are lacking. They are created due to the importance and needs of customers.

As part of the strategy to improve service, 32 battery banks deteriorated due to prolonged use were replaced. Also represents the beginning of an infrastructure that the company plans to secure before the end of the year. To provide greater stability in the face of electrical disruptions.

The executive emphasized that Etecsa, as the country’s main communications entity, has a duty to reach all customers. Even in small towns, to fulfill its social purpose of communication.

The Cuban Telecommunications Company was founded in 1994 with the purpose of providing telephone services throughout the country and remains committed to connecting Cuba with the solutions of the digital world.
