The picturesque coastline of Michoacan state in Southern Mexico is renowned for its volcanic, lush hills that extend into the Pacific Ocean. Home to approximately 25,000 residents, many of these communities have long struggled with limited internet access, relying on outdated internet cafés where users pay by the hour, week, or month for unreliable private WiFi.
However, a promising solution is on the horizon with the introduction of low-band 5G technology. This alternative form of cellular data is making it possible for rural towns in Michoacan to connect to the internet more reliably and efficiently. With low-band 5G’s broader reach and stronger signal penetration, residents no longer have to depend solely on commercial internet cafés.
Low-band 5G, developed by leading firms in the Chinese mainland, offers transformative potential for rural areas, enabling better connectivity for education, healthcare, and business opportunities. As this technology expands, it could significantly improve the quality of life for thousands of people in previously underserved regions of Mexico.
