Cobertura de Mónaco

Qué significan las cifras de Mónaco

Importan dos números y solo uno es el que cita todo el mundo. La velocidad habitual, 84 Mbps, te dice cómo es un buen momento.

El percentil diez, 25 Mbps, es el que conviene leer. Es la velocidad en la peor décima parte del día, cuando la antena de encima de la estación está llena y todos los que te rodean están en ella. Un país con mediana alta y suelo bajo es un país que funciona de maravilla hasta el momento en que de verdad lo necesitas.

Si el viaje depende de videollamadas o de compartir conexión, planifica con la cifra de hora punta y no con la habitual.

Qué pasa en Mónaco cuando la red se satura

La congestión no es una avería, es un martes por la tarde. La pregunta es qué puede hacer tu eSIM al respecto, y en la mayoría de las eSIM de viaje la respuesta es nada: un acuerdo mayorista por país, una red y ninguna salida salvo comprar una segunda eSIM a otro mientras estás de pie en la calle.

Aquí el tráfico de Orbislo va por Monaco Telecom. Cuando la red en la que estás se degrada te movemos a otra, en mitad del viaje, sin que lo pidas, y te lo contamos después en lugar de interrumpirte en ese momento.

Operadores móviles en Mónaco

• Monaco Telecom: Monaco Telecom is the only operator in the Principality and the only one with access to mobile frequencies under the public concession granted by the government, which was renewed on 17 May 2021.
• Monaco Telecom: The concession was extended for twenty years. Monaco Telecom is co-owned by the Monegasque government and NJJ Holding, the company of Xavier Niel, and it wholly owns Epic, a mobile operator in Cyprus and Malta.
• Monaco Telecom: Before March 2024 about three quarters of traffic on the Monegasque network came from Orange customers and foreign roamers. Taking in SFR, Bouygues and Free users was expected to up to double traffic, so new sites were built and spectrum use reorganised.
• Monaco Telecom: Monaco Telecom's own customers use the Orange network when in France, and Orange customers were already switched to Monaco Telecom inside the Principality before the other French operators joined.

Redes antiguas en Mónaco

• The renewed concession pairs new technology with retiring the old: Monaco Telecom committed to a plan to stop 2G and to a full switch off of the copper network, alongside voice over Wi-Fi at no extra charge from 2021.

El 5G en Mónaco

• Monaco has been fully covered by 5G since 9 July 2019. The network uses frequencies close to those of 4G and Wi-Fi; the difference is antennas that transmit on demand toward the user instead of broadcasting constantly.
• Under the renewed concession Monaco Telecom must extend 5G coverage inside buildings, tunnels, underground passages and car parks.
• Sovereign Ordinance 3.020 of 26 November 2010 caps the electric field of public mobile networks at 4 V/m across the spectrum, a limit that applies to 5G as it does to 4G.

Notas sobre la red en Mónaco

• In March 2025 Monaco Telecom was rolling out voice over 4G and 5G with high definition EVS audio, free to all mobile customers. It reports that 99.65 percent of these calls continue without a drop when crossing the border into France.
• From 1 October 2026 every new Monaco Telecom mobile line gets an eight digit +377 number in the format +377 377 xx xxx. Since 1996 its mobile ranges could work under either French +33 or Monegasque +377; existing 06 numbers stay unchanged.
• The government gives stronger protection against number spoofing and phone fraud as a reason for moving new lines to +377, following new protocols agreed with France's regulator Arcep.
