La Pampa expands mobile coverage to 76 localities

The province of La Pampa has reached a milestone in connectivity with the inauguration of a new cellular tower in Colonia Santa Teresa. This infrastructure provides mobile coverage to the town and its surrounding rural areas for the first time.

With this addition, 76 localities in La Pampa now have mobile signal, ensuring that more than 99% of the province's population lives in an area with at least one service provider. The project is part of a cooperation agreement signed in 2023 between the provincial telecommunications company EMPATEL and Claro.

Under this partnership, EMPATEL provides the passive infrastructure and transport, including the tower and fiber optic links, while Claro installs the radio equipment and provides the service. This model aims to bring 4G mobile telephony to low-density population areas that were previously excluded from private sector investment plans.
