Claro Argentina has enlisted Spanish satellite operator HISPASAT to provide 3G and 4G internet access to 250 rural communities throughout the country via a cellular backhaul solution.
The rollout of the satellite network has already started in 100 communities and will ultimately reach 250 rural locations in Argentina.
The deployment will focus on Patagonia, Cuyo, Centro and Noroeste, connecting the sites with 2G, 3G and 4G mobile radio bases, via the Ku-band capacity of the HISPASAT 30W-5 and HISPASAT 30W-6 satellites.
