The operator has improved its capacity on the Madrid Metro network, offering a stable and continuous signal for browsing on mobile phones or making calls.
The MasOrange group announced on Wednesday that it has increased the capacity of its networks deployed in the Madrid Metro facilities, so that customers of its multiple brands will be able to browse 15% faster from their mobile devices. It has also improved its networks in the Bilbao Metro, as the operator speaks of an improved experience for passengers “during their journeys through the Madrid and Bilbao subways.”
According to the company, this improvement of its network throughout the capital’s metro system helps its customers to use the Internet and make calls in a “continuous and optimal” way, that is, without interruptions in the signal or data download.
Customers of Orange, Yoigo, Pepephone, Simyo, Jazztel and MasMovil, among others, will therefore be able to benefit from this improvement.
MasOrange would like to remind you that they also have high-speed mobile coverage in many other metro networks in the country, such as those in Barcelona, Bilbao, Granada, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Seville and Valencia.
At a national level, MasOrange’s mobile network includes 4G speed available to 99% of the Spanish population, and a 5G technology network for more than 85.4%, covering more than 2,700 municipalities throughout the country.
4G and WiFi in Madrid Metro
It was in 2021 that the entire metro network, with almost 300 kilometres, was fully connected via 4G or WiFi networks. Vodafone also has full coverage throughout the capital’s metro network. In 2021, Movistar also began offering 3G or 4G coverage in all stations along its route, except for light rail stations.
The company responsible for providing coverage in the Madrid Metro is Cellnex, after this company bought a 60% stake in Metrocall from Indra. As a neutral operator, Cellnex is responsible for installing the operators’ antennas throughout the network of underground stations.
