Brief: Telefónica inaugurates second 4G antenna in Antarctica
Telefónica Argentina has installed a second 4G antenna in its base in Antarctica, one year after installing the first.
The antenna is at Argentina's Esperanza scientific research base in Hope Bay. The base has a meteorological station for glacial, biological, marine and seismological observation, according to local press.
In December, 2016, Telefónica became the first operator to launch 3G and 4G services at the Argentine Antarctic base Marambio.
Some 5,000 tourists visit the base every year. The company has increased broadband speeds to 20Mbps from the existing 1.5Mbps.
In February, 2017, Telefónica Argentina inaugurated what it claimed was the highest 4G base station in the world, at the Plaza de Mulas base camp at an altitude of 4,300m on Mount Aconcagua.
In January, this year Telefónica launched 4G-LTE services on the Cardenal Antonio Samoré mountain pass on the border with Chile, ahead of the arrival of the Pope.
