Uruguay plans to invest heavily in infrastructure, technology, modernization systems, expansion of connectivity, implementation of 5G, and in new digital services. In May 2021, Uruguay approved the 2025 Digital Agenda, the country’s roadmap for future digital development.
The program is managed by Uruguay’s e-Government and Knowledge Management Agency. The plan includes expansion of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks to locations with less than 3,000 inhabitants, the assignment of new spectrum bands for mobile technology, increasing 5G coverage and the adoption of digital health services.
