Santiago's metro system has become the first fully-connected 5G underground network in the region, Bloomberg reports. The upgrade will enhance security and communication for passengers and staff.
Chilean officials confirmed that all carriers will be required to offer 5G services across the metro by 2030, as noted by bnamericas.com. This move aims to modernize infrastructure and improve connectivity in the capital.
The Santiago Metro's 5G rollout represents a significant leap forward for Chile's digital infrastructure, according to telecompaper.com. The system now supports real-time data transmission and smart city applications.
Cuban scientists have also made headlines by producing the first horse cloned entirely in Chile, per upi.com. While not directly related to the metro upgrade, this development highlights Chile's growing role in biotechnology research.
