NUEVITAS, Cuba — A new investment, featuring the installation of a cellular base station, is currently underway in the municipality of Nuevitas as part of ongoing efforts by the Telecommunications Company of Cuba (ETECSA) S.A. to enhance service quality.

The modern equipment being installed on the town's 12-story building will not only improve 4G access, but will also feature solar panels to ensure transmitter autonomy, higher traffic capacity, and superior performance, according to Radio Nuevitas' website.

The base station previously located at that site was relocated to the 10 de Octubre Thermoelectric Power Plant to serve the industrial zone and surrounding communities.

With this addition, Nuevitas now has five cell towers, underscoring ETECSA's commitment to maintaining telecommunications functionality across the territory to the extent possible.

Adianet González Reyes, head of the Investment Department at ETECSA's Camagüey Territorial Division, noted that while customers may not yet fully perceive the service improvements, landline telephony remains a priority. She added that mobile access across 2G, 3G, and 4G networks currently varies depending on battery charge levels.

As part of the company's broader investment drive, González Reyes explained that newly installed cell towers will increasingly rely on photovoltaic systems, while strategic partnerships are being established with non-state economic actors willing to assist with localized solutions across various municipalities.
