This means that the islands themselves must have data centers, albeit with a reuce capacity, to enable 5G. The status of deployments in the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands In the case of the main Spanish archipelagos, the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands, the deployments are already advance. The data offere by the operators indicate that the percentage of population coverage of 5G.and this includes any of its versions, both 5G NSA and 5G SA. by any operator is more than 91 in the Balearic Islands and more 87 in the case of the Canary Islands.

In the first quarter of the year, Telefónica announce coverage of 51 municipalities in the Canary Islands , which reache 87 of the population of the autonomous community. Other CH Leads efforts are also being made with completely necessary infrastructures that, of course, will favor the deployment of 5G, such as the new submarine telecommunications cable that will connect the peninsula with the Canary archipelago, says the professor at the University of Alcalá. A 5G at the same level Despite the difficulties that insular 5G may seem to have, the quality of the connection should not be inferior.





The connectivity problems that may arise will be more relate to issues that also represent a disorder in a continent. Insularity in itself does not influence the quality of telecommunications services , says Arrieta. The type of networks that are deploye in the different territories depends on another series of factors, including the specifics of the public plans to promote connectivity, the orography, the nees of the population and the economy of the area. The question of costs It is difficult to get an idea of ​​​​how much the costs can vary when implementing an island 5G. But for Portilla there are two main variables.one is the cabling, the other is the necessary computing capacity.
