Santiago's metro system is set to become the first fully-connected 5G underground network in the region, per telecompaper.com.
The initiative aims to modernize infrastructure and improve connectivity for commuters by 2030, as reported by bnamericas.com.
Chilean officials are targeting 5G coverage across all carriers in the metro system by that time, Bloomberg reports.
The project is part of a broader push to enhance digital infrastructure in Santiago.
