5G NR in Costa Rica · Operated by Ring · SUTEL RCS-251-2019
5G NR · San José, Costa Rica

5G that lands where Costa Rica needs it.

Two layers of 5G NR on infrastructure that is ours: mid-band n48 at 3.6 GHz for coverage, and mmWave n258 at 25 GHz with 200 MHz of spectrum for multi-gigabit capacity — all on Ring's own 5G Core and O-RAN. Built for private 5G, Fixed Wireless Access and everything in between.

01Spectrum

Two bands, one network.

5G isn't one frequency — it's a strategy. Ring pairs a mid-band coverage layer that reaches inside buildings and across distance with a mmWave capacity layer that pours fiber-grade throughput onto a fixed point. Same 5G Core, same O-RAN, one slice policy.

Mid-band vs. mmWave

Pick the layer for the job.

Most sites use both: mid-band for reach and reliability, mmWave where you need fiber-class throughput to a fixed point in line of sight.

Mid-band · n48 · 3.6 GHz

The coverage layer. Up to 10 MHz TDD that travels — through walls, across a campus, over distance — for ~100 Mbps-class service where line of sight isn't guaranteed.

  • ReachWide-area · indoor
  • Throughputup to ~100 Mbps / sector

mmWave · n258 · 25 GHz

The capacity layer. 200 MHz of spectrum delivering multi-gigabit throughput — design target up to ~2 Gbps to a fixed CPE with line of sight. Fiber, without the trench.

02Fixed Wireless Access

Fiber-grade broadband, no trench.

FWA brings a business or building online in days, not the months a fiber dig takes. Point an outdoor CPE at a Ring site, light it up, and you have a managed, symmetrical-capable broadband circuit — mmWave for gigabit where there's line of sight, mid-band to cover the rest.

FWA circuit CR · n258 / n48

Broadband over the air.

A managed last-mile link with the SLA of a carrier and the lead time of a site visit.

03Private 5G

Your own network, inside your walls.

A private 5G network gives a campus, plant, port or free-zone its own coverage, its own SIMs and its own SLA — isolated from the public network by a dedicated slice. With an on-site core and local breakout, critical traffic never leaves the property and keeps running at single-digit-millisecond latency.

Use cases

More than FWA and private campuses.

Mid-band coverage plus mmWave capacity, on a programmable core, opens up a long list of jobs that fiber and Wi-Fi struggle with in Costa Rica.

Home & business broadband

FWA where fiber doesn't reach: neighborhoods, towers, rural and peri-urban sites.

Free zones & manufacturing

Private 5G for medical-device, electronics and Industry 4.0 plants in zonas francas.

Ports & logistics

Container yards, automated cranes, AGVs and asset tracking on a deterministic slice.

Agriculture & agro-industry

Mid-band coverage over plantations and farms: sensors, irrigation, machinery telemetry.

Healthcare campuses

Connected devices, telemetry and priority traffic on an isolated hospital network.

Live events & broadcast

mmWave uplink for stadiums, concerts and remote production — gigabit, low latency.

Tower & fiber extension

mmWave point-to-point backhaul to reach sites and extend fiber across the last gap.

Industrial IoT & automation

URLLC for AGVs/AMRs, robotics, machine vision and predictive maintenance.

Video surveillance & smart city

High-bandwidth camera backhaul and edge analytics without pulling new fiber.

Hospitality & eco-lodges

Resorts and remote tourism sites get carrier broadband over the air, no civil works.

Education & campuses

University and school networks with managed SIMs, slices and guest coverage.

Pop-up & disaster recovery

Stand a network up fast for construction sites, events or emergency response.
