TUNNELS WITH FULL NETWORK BY 2027

There is a budget of 10 million euros to start a new project for full coverage of 5G technology in about 100 kilometers of tunnels on Madeira’s roads.

The money comes from the Recovery and Resilience Plan and will guarantee cell phone, internet and radio signal. The first works start before the summer in Ponta do Sol and Funchal, but Pedro Fino hopes to have the entire region covered by 2027.

Money to be spent well, or just another waste of money on something not needed..???

  1. Feels like overreach, but Madeira is so ahead of its. time it’s entirely likely that I’ve failed to understand the advantages that this would bring

  2. It’s money well spent when there’s an emergency call you might miss had it not been done!

  3. Für Leute, die hier Zeit im Homeoffice verbringen und dabei viel unterwegs sind, eine echte Bereicherung.
    Bei den vielen Tunneln auf dieser Insel echt topp.

      1. Sorry, I am from Germany and use by myself, always the translation option on my smart phone, because my english is not so good.
        Maybe you can use the same possibility?

        This is a genuine improvement for people working here in the home office and have to get around a lot. Considering the many tunnels on this island, it’s just great.

  4. 10 million so phones work in tunnels. Maybe updating the health centres, resurfacing some back roads, better care for stray animals, safety rails on some popular levada walks, better sidewalks, the list goes on

  6. More political vanity projects sending money to corporate friends rather than actually spending money on essential maintenance works around the island that would make driving around a lot less dangerous. Obviously top importance is that any and every politician can be contacted at any moment even if a very long tunnel.

  8. At last, I agree with Maurice, but Maurice, you have to understand (it has taken me many years of observation I admit) that people ‘NEED’ it seems, their phones in a tunnel, if only for 30 seconds, they need it while eating too, breakfast lunch and dinner, and after, seemingly to avoid talking to each other OR THEIR CHILDERN even. It’s the sad world we live in.

  9. Well the next thing they need to do is add this to all the hiking trails, the mountains and levadas and end up with people constantly looking in their mobile phones or passing all the time talking and looking in them and having more accidents . The time when it was still possible do a hike in peace and silence is gone completely out of the window with all this technology .??
