This technology allows you to multiply the download speed by 10. It is what is known as ultra-low latencythat is, the speed with which, for example, the videos or images are downloaded, to a speed practically imperceptible to the human eye. The other feature that makes it unbeatable is that it allows the connection of million users in a single square kilometer which, taking into account the influx of visitors expected in the sports and technology competition in August 2024, allows us to breathe with relief.
