Rapid increase in LTE base stations across Argentina assists in 5G trials
Argentina has one of the highest broadband penetration rates in Latin America, supported by investment among operators as well as a number of government programs aimed at extending the reach of services. The Government funded Federal Fibre-Optic Network is aiming to connect 2,600 localities across the country accounting for approximately 90% of the population.
Although the country’s economic and political difficulties during the last decade have impacted on sector investments there have been steady improvements in recent quarters, with a considerable proportion of investment being earmarked for expanding fibre networks beyond areas of the principal cities.
Between 2017 and 2019 LTE the number of LTE base in service has increased over 45%.

Argentina has one of the most dynamic mobile markets in Latin America and is the third largest in the region after Brazil and Mexico.
Mobile penetration has fallen in recent years in line with a reduction in the number of subscribers this is partly due to pricing competition among operators which has reduced the incentive for multiple-SIM card ownership. The regulator has encouraged the market entry of additional MVNOs to increase competition.
Argentina ranks in the top 5 Latin American countries for telecoms maturity according to BuddeComm’s Telecoms Maturity Index. Compared to other Latin American nations, it has advanced telecoms infrastructure and high fixed line teledensity compared to the regional average
