Entel in Vision 2045 | No one is left behind in Patagonia

We had the chance to sit down with Entel to discuss how the company begins its shutdown of Chilean 2G network, developing an inclusive process that maintains connectivity for the elderly and needy as part of Vision 2045 campaign.

The evolution of mobile technology in Chile has been very dynamic. Since the arrival of the 2G (second generation) signal at the beginning of this century, which allowed basic communications through text messaging and voice calls, in less than two decades massive coverage has been achieved with a 5G network that is at the forefront. But not all people have kept pace with these changes, particularly older people in rural and remote areas of the country such as Patagonia.

And this reality is particularly sensitive to the need for a gradual shutdown of 2G technology in Chile from mid-2024. This change, as has occurred in the United States and several countries in Europe and Asia, will allow a more efficient and effective use of the spectrum, improve the browsing experience, advance in inclusive digitization and make energy consumption more efficient.
