Extensive Coverage

The company has deployed additional 5G infrastructure in various regions to ensure a seamless network experience. According to the statement, the communities that have witnessed the deployment of 5G sites by Movistar to meet the summer connectivity demands are Andalusia, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, the Valencian Community, Catalonia, Galicia, Cantabria, and Asturias.

Nevertheless, Movistar says its Network is present in municipalities across all autonomous communities in Spain to ensure widespread 5G coverage. These temporary installations will remain in place even after the summer season concludes.

Movistar’s 5G network now covers 442 coastal towns, ensuring nationwide coverage along the coastline. Movistar said the coverage extends to small coastal communities like Muxia and Cudillero, as well as larger and more popular destinations such as Fuengirola and Torrevieja.

According to Movistar, its 5G coverage is available in 56 inland municipalities that experience increased visitor traffic during the summer. Movistar also noted that even small towns with fewer than 1,000 inhabitants, such as Esterri d’Aneu (Lleida), Parada del Sil (Ourense), Enix (Almería), and Villares del Saz (Cuenca), are equipped with Movistar’s 5G network.

Temporary Units for High-Demand Events

As a notable measure this year, Movistar said it will install a total of 14 temporary units to address connectivity needs in areas with a significant surge in demand during specific events like music festivals or highly occupied summer camping sites that experience lower usage during the rest of the year.
