Mexican telecom group America Movil launched 5G services in 18 of Mexico’s largest cities, reaching more than 48 million people.
The company, which operates in the mobile telephony segment through the Telcel brand, initially launched 5G in Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana and Puebla.
America Movil’s CEO Daniel Hajj said at a press conference that the company aims to expand 5G infrastructure to reach 120 cities across the country by the end of year.
Telcel is Mexico’s largest mobile operator, with nearly 80 million subscribers.
Hajj also said that Telcel has more than 40 handset models available that are compatible with the new technology, and that the initial 5G service plans will be announced later this month.
