Radiografica Costarricense SA claims first 5G FWA in Costa Rica

05 September 2024

Radiografica Costarricense SA (RACSA, a Grupo ICE company) has claimed a 5G first in the country with the launch of 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) services on the market, supported by the country’s first and only network designed for this technology.

Using the 3.5GHz band, in which it holds a 100MHz block, RACSA will target its solutions at companies, institutions and SMEs, and, it says, will place Costa Rica among the countries with cutting-edge connections. FWA services on the 5G network offer high speed up to 1Gbps for commercial and corporate segments, from a tower to the customer location without the need for cables. They allow simultaneous connection of devices without interruptions or speed losses.

“RACSA will use the frequency it has been given to deliver the country’s first 5G network, designed and built from scratch, to meet the high data demand needs of its customers,” said Marco Acuña, president of Grupo ICE.
