Several localities that are covered by the Plan Turquino in Holguin will solve the problems they have with the reception of TV signals before the year ends. In addition, the people who live there will have the necessary electromagnetic waves at their disposition to communicate through mobile telephony.

The Head of the Network Development and Operations Department in the Telecommunications Company in Holguin, Hector Javier Santos de la Rosa, explained that certain communities like La Melba, in Moa, Guamuta and Sojo Represa, in Cueto, as well as Rio Grande, in Frank Pais, will obtain benefits from the installation of radio links that will significantly improve TV signals and modernize technology.

In the case of La Melba, efforts are being made to enable a micro BTS (base station) to generate a mobile signal. Guamuta is the other place that was selected to install a BTS that in addition to the mobile signal will be useful to set a public Internet (Wi-Fi) connection area.

One of those radio links will be placed between Los Guineos, inGuantanamo and La Melba with the goal of moving the TV signal to the transmitters of RadioCuba in the latter of the two locations. In that locality, two sets of 48 Volts solar panels will be deployed to provide the equipment that will be installed with power.

The equipment that will be used is already in that province. Specialists and technicians from the Internal Plant of the Transportation Unit will be in charge of assembling the infrastructure of radios and antennas. The staff from the Telecommunications Center in Cueto will also participate along with the workers from the Electric Power Unit for matters concerning electricity.
