“Portico” project covering Guadalinfo centres

Number of stations deployed: 193
Site: Andalusia
Developer: Vodafone España
Services supplied: Design engineering, legal certification and project management
Date: 2008

The 193 mobile phone stations belonging to this project were deployed across Andalusia.
The aim of the project was to meet technological needs in rural areas, villages with less than 20,000 inhabitants, so-called autonomous local entities and disadvantaged urban neighbourhoods in order to provide data coverage to Guadalinfo centres (the social innovation network of Andalusia) in locations across the region.
Ecointegral took part as the main engineering company in all phases of the development of this base station deployment. This included design engineering, lines of sight for transmission, electrical engineering for the management of electrical connections, government-level legal certification of emission frequencies, legal certification with public authorities, planning and monitoring of works, and final completion documents.
