Claro’s LTE network uses the 1800 MHz band. Service is available in some Costa Rican cantons, such as La Uruca, Santa Ana, Escazú (San José) and partially in Heredia and Alajuela provinces.
Alejandro Plater, Vice President Ericsson Latin America, said: “We have been working in partnership with América Móvil for more than 15 years, and we have a very good relationship with Claro since their arrival in Costa Rica three years ago. Enabling a full LTE network infrastructure and operations signifies a new step in our partnership, creating the best services and capabilities for our customer’s end users.”
