Telecommunications provider Claro Puerto Rico announced Monday the expansion of its 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network to nine more municipalities in Puerto Rico, totaling 18 new additions in just seven weeks.
Wireless competitors AT&T and T-Mobile announced expansions to their Puerto Rico 4G LTE networks, which for the latter carrier also represented adding new jobs in the area of customer service.
The U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration this week awarded a $1.4 million grant to Puerto Rico under the State and Local Implementation Grant Program to help in planning for the island’s First Responder Network Authority, known as FirstNet.
