Santiago, Jan 19 (efe-epa).- Chile inaugurated Latin America’s first 5G test zone on Tuesday, a project launched in a commercial and residential area of Santiago that aims to show the impact this ultra-fast, next-generation wireless technology will have on cities.
The 5.5-square-kilometer (2.1-square-mile) area of this capital where the trial will take place is home to hospitals, schools, retail establishments, offices and homes.
“This 5G zone will allow citizens to experience a hyper-connected ecosystem, with smart transport and greater efficiency in travel times,” Transport and Telecommunications Minister Gloria Hutt said.
Santiago’s 5G zone is an open space where people with 5G-compatible smartphones whose carriers use 3.5 GHz spectrum will be able to access the technology while inside its boundaries, the minister said.
