Gurgoan, India, March 05, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Rollouts are underway for deploying 86 GSM sites for Entel S.A.,Bolivia's state-run telecom operator under the Cobertura Movil Rural (Rural Mobile Coverage - CMR) project. VNL's solar powered WorldGSM™ telecommunications infrastructure solution will help Entel deliver sustainable mobile services to people in rural and remote locations across several provinces in Bolivia.
Entel's multi-million dollar investment in VNL's sustainable rural telecommunications solutions reflects Bolivia's commitment to economic and social development of its people through telecommunications. Located at the highest altitudes of South America, Bolivia is a land locked country, rich in natural resources. However penetration of mobile and internet services is a concern with huge gaps in coverage in sub-urban areas, rural areas and mining and production centers that are vital for the economy.
As Entel embarks on a nationwide expansion program, integration of unconnected rural areas into the development mainstream and empowerment of disadvantaged sections of society is top priority. It's efforts to expand its footprint are guided by the Political Constitution of the State which recognizes telecommunications as a basic right and emphasizes access and universal service obligations.
VNL's Bolivia journey began in 2011 with successful trials for the Bolivian Government in two remote locations, Rio Seco and Yatarenda, falling under the city of Santa Cruz.
One of the VNL WorldGSM™ Rural Sites deployed for Entel is located in the mountains overlooking the picturesque Municipality of Maca Maca, in Loayza Province Of La Paz Department, Bolivia. The site can only be accessed by a tough, winding road that climbs to the base of the tower perched on a slope 300 meters above the community (see pictures). The site brings Entel's GSM network within reach of the 200 inhabitants of Maca Maca and 50 inhabitants in the small village of Caracato close by.
Maca Maca has just 200 inhabitants.
People in Maca Maca now have a choice after having shared a single phone booth that worked on the old DECT technology, all these years. Residents of Caracato are even more delighted because the village has never had any telecom service till now. Entel's GSM network is a first for them, and a big step to empowerment in their daily lives.
