WOM Chile has completed the delivery of all 366 mandatory locations named in its 5G rollout. Mandatory Locations are areas defined by the Chilean government as priorities for mobile connectivity and are part of the legal obligations associated with the allocation of 5G spectrum.
“This milestone reaffirms our purpose of connecting everyone in Chile, significantly narrowing the digital divide. Our team managed to reach extreme areas of the region, located in zones of high geographic and territorial complexity. We will continue to be the operator that brings connectivity to the most extreme and remote areas of the country, transforming the lives of millions of people,” said Chris Bannister, CEO of WOM.
WOM frames this advance within a sustained investment plan during its first decade of operations in Chile, which has allowed it to consolidate a network of more than 6,300 of its own antennas. With this infrastructure, the company is positioned as the second largest network in the country in terms of sites, with a presence in urban, rural, and remote areas, and a solid foundation for the expansion of advanced mobile services, including 5G.
