Telefónica, MasOrange, Vodafone and Cellnex are setting up a special system for the eclipse

The main telecommunications operators in Spain —Telefónica, MasOrange and Vodafone— together with infrastructure manager Cellnex have deployed a special technical operation focused on more than 700 key points to guarantee data traffic and roaming during the total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026. The measure responds to the sudden increase in demand forecast in rural, coastal and mountain areas, where the total darkness zone will offer optimal visibility to millions of observers.
