Panama advances 5G network implementation, positioning itself as a regional leader in digital connectivity. The country’s strategic deployment of 5G technology aims to enhance internet speeds, reduce latency, and support economic growth.
The National Authority for Public Services (ASEP) has been instrumental in promoting 5G deployment through regulatory initiatives and spectrum allocation. By harmonizing key spectrum bands, such as the 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands, ASEP facilitates better 5G compatibility, enabling operators to introduce 5G services more effectively.
Telecommunications companies like Más Móvil Panamá and TIGO are collaborating with ASEP to roll out 5G networks across the country. These efforts are focused on upgrading existing infrastructure, including cellular towers and fiber optic networks, to support the new technology
Panama’s commitment to digital transformation is evident in its investment in connectivity for public services. For instance, the government plans to invest US$44 million to guarantee internet connection for 3,100 schools, ensuring that educational institutions benefit from improved digital infrastructure .bnamericas.com
The advancement of 5G technology in Panama is expected to have a significant impact on various sectors, including healthcare, education, transportation, and industry. By providing faster and more reliable internet connections, 5G enables the development of smart cities, supports remote learning and telemedicine, and enhances industrial automation.
As Panama advances 5G network implementation, it not only improves its domestic digital capabilities but also strengthens its position as a technological hub in Central America. Continued collaboration between government agencies and private sector partners will be crucial in realizing the full potential of 5G technology.
