The installation and start-up of a communication base station in Alto de Cotilla, an elevation located in the Imías Municipality, 200 m
above sea level, is already bearing fruit.
Although the trials continue, according to information offered by Moisés Jiménez, director of the Radio Playita Station, several users
are grateful through social networks and report the functionality of the device, through which they have been able to communicate with
their relatives in communities that until date, there was no communication.
The Minister of Telecommunications Marta Arevych arrived at that site last June, as part of the most recent Government visit to the
province. There, they checked the progress of the construction work of the installation, a location that today allows improving the
communications service in that area.
The new 2G/3G technology radio base station must guarantee cellular coverage throughout La Farola Viaduct and surrounding
communities. It will function as a broadcaster for digital terrestrial television and has a photovoltaic system to guarantee its
functionality.
