● The operator is carrying out configuration work and capacity upgrades in 31 provinces and at 2,756 sites spread across the thousands of kilometres where the solar eclipse on 12 August will be visible.
Telefónica has launched a plan to monitor and strengthen its mobile network ahead of the solar eclipse taking place next Wednesday, 12 August, which will be visible at various locations across Spain.
To meet the extraordinary demand for connectivity from national and international observers expected at these locations, Telefónica has planned to carry out specific configuration and optimisation work in 31 provinces and at 2,756 sites spread across the thousands of kilometres that the upcoming solar eclipse will cover in Spain.
These measures to configure the mobile network for the eclipse involve Telefónica intelligently reconfiguring the technical parameters of its base stations, adapting them to traffic demand.
In this way, the network redistributes equipment capacity and bandwidth to ensure that users can access the service reliably and without interruptions.
