Entel Peru increases 3.5 GHz spectrum for 5G
Entel Peru has significantly expanded its 5G capacity in the 3.5 GHz band, increasing its usable spectrum from 20 MHz to as much as 80–100 MHz, depending on the area. The operator says the added mid-band capacity is aimed at services that need low latency and high reliability, such as telemedicine, remote and connected education, and industrial automation.
By opening more spectrum in this band, Entel expects to support higher data throughput and more stable connections for advanced 5G use cases. The move positions the network to handle heavier traffic and more demanding applications as businesses and public services look to 5G for critical connectivity.
