Radiográfica Costarricense S. A. (RACSA, an ICE Group company), announced that it has launched the 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) services, supported in the first and only network in the country designed for this technology.
RACSA reported that it will use the 3.5 gigahertz band (GHz). The milestone will promote the development of solutions for companies, institutions and SMEs, and will place Costa Rica among the countries with state-of-the-art connection.
The FWA services on the 5G network offer high speed, up to 1 gigabit per second, for commercial and corporate segments, from a tower to the customer’s location, without the need for cables. They allow simultaneous connection of devices, without interruptions or loss of speed.
Our Corporation takes advantage of the competitive advantages of its companies. RACSA, as a frequency manager, will use it 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.
Mauricio Barrantes, general manager of RACSA, emphasized that it is a pride to put at the service of the country and, in particular, rural areas, the first network of 5G services. For 103 years, RACSA has played a social role in digitisation. It is in our DNA and is the guide to accompany Costa Rica on the innovation route.
Organizations and companies interested in having RACSA’s 5G wireless Internet services can learn about the commercial offer and coverage areas when entering the website www.racsa.go.cr, where they can complete a brief form and will then be contacted by commercial advisors.
With the new 5G network, RACSA customers will have:

– Reliable connectivity. By being designed for fixed locations, it guarantees stability to develop high-availability solutions.
Easy implementation. Quick and less expensive installation than wireless.
