The company aims to offer Argentines the latest technology. Individuals on vacation in these cities with compatible devices and in proximity to the first 5G-enabled sites can experience the advantages of 5G technology, such as a significant increase in speed and reduced latency, said the company. In the initial phase, customers need not purchase a separate plan to enjoy 5G services, as they will be able to do so using their existing plan.
