Chile. The Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications of Chile, MTT, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan, MIC, signed a Memorandum of Collaboration, MOC, to strengthen technical exchange in information and communication technologies, ICT.
This agreement, which deals with eleven matters related to telecommunications, contemplates two strategic issues that are the Asia-South America Submarine Cable and the deployment of 5G networks. In this line, for the first, the collaboration with the MIC has occurred since the beginning of this project and is currently maintained with the exploration of data transport from Australia to Asia through the existing infrastructure. For its part, in terms of 5G, the MTT, through the Undersecretariat of Telecommunications (SUBTEL), has expressed to the MIC, the convenience of having examples of use of this technology in productive applications that can be replicated in Chile.
"If we want to face well the different challenges proposed by the new digital era we have to learn from the experiences of other markets, who through their knowledge can contribute so that the national telecommunications sector continues to grow, benefiting all citizens," said the Minister of Transport and Telecommunications, Gloria Hutt.
Meanwhile, the Undersecretary of Telecommunications, Pamela Gidi, said that "for Chile to consolidate its position as a regional Digital Hub, it has to enhance the entire telecommunications ecosystem so that sectors and citizens can benefit in a real and integral way from new technologies such as the future 5G network."
It should be noted that to date a fruitful collaboration has been developed between the MTT and MIC, so the MOC is an endorsement and extension of this.
