Larrosa assured that the development of ANTEL’s 5G technology is blocked. He said that Uruguay has an impressive deployment of fiber optics and a robust network of LTE antennas suitable for the adoption of this new technology.
“We have suitable frequency bands and the necessary money. Why are they stopping us?” asked the director of ANTEL on behalf of the opposition.
Larrosa stated that the fifth generation will promote virtual and augmented reality, the Internet of things and remote management of machines, for which a great productive leap is expected.
He highlighted the fact that 64% of the population of the European Community has access. China registers impressive figures and the United States advances at a good pace.
“We were an advanced country in the installation of fiber optics to the home, in including schoolchildren in the digital world and in the development of the LTE mobile phone network,” the hierarch listed.

However, he lamented that “today the country is far behind in the implementation of new mobile phone networks.”
“The blocking of ANTEL’s 5G development is not due to lack of money, nor lack of infrastructure and suitable cell phones, it is due to lack of political will,” he assured.
Larrosa said that “the Executive Power demands more contributions to general income, and only with part of them could the technological revolution begin.”
