As is well known, the new Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been affecting the daily lives of communities and, naturally, the socio-economic fabric of the entire national territory.
In the case of dstelecom, while never neglecting the prevention and safety measures implemented for our teams, we have sought to comply with Decree-Law No. 10-D/2020 of March 23, which aims to ensure the regular functioning of telecommunications—an essential driver in the recovery of economic activities and, at this stage of social isolation, the primary means of access to information.
Our mission is to bring fiber-optic networks to areas with low population density, and today, at a time when the pandemic continues to spread, it is more important than ever that this mission remains firmly in place.
We are therefore committed to ensuring the proper functioning of our network, striving to ensure that support services, maintenance, and network expansion are not affected.
To achieve this, we rely on more than 150 professionals in the field, from north to south of the country, focused on keeping the 100 municipalities where we deliver fiber-optic connectivity connected to the world through telecommunications services.
