São Paulo, March 24, 2025 – Salvador Metro users now have access to high-quality mobile coverage between Lapa and Campo da Pólvora stations. The project, carried out by QMC Telecom, a leader in indoor connectivity solutions in Latin America, enabled the activation of the 4G network of one of the country’s main operators both in the stations and inside the tunnel, ensuring stable and high-performance connectivity for passengers.

Campo da Pólvora station, one of the stations benefiting from the project, is one of the central access points to Arena Fonte Nova, a venue for major sporting and cultural events. With the new infrastructure, fans and visitors will be able to count on a reliable cell phone signal from the moment they arrive at the subway until they reach the stadium, allowing access to maps, ride-hailing services and real-time experience sharing.

“Projects like this demonstrate QMC’s commitment to enabling connectivity even in highly complex technical environments, such as tunnels and underground stations with intense metro operations. The infrastructure we deliver to the Salvador Metro not only ensures a better experience for the client operator’s users, but also paves the way for other operators to be part of this digital transformation,” says Murilo Almeida, President of QMC Brazil.

The Salvador Metro, managed by CCR Metrô Bahia, plays an essential role in the city’s public transportation, and the improvement in mobile coverage represents a significant step forward. “Connectivity is an essential factor for modern urban mobility. Ensuring quality service within the metro means allowing passengers to remain connected on their daily journeys, whether for work, study or leisure,” highlights Júlio Freitas, Director of CCR Metrô Bahia.

According to those responsible for the project, the activation of 4G on the Salvador subway is just the beginning of a journey that aims to expand mobile coverage to more sections and operators, consolidating the infrastructure as a differential for urban mobility in the capital of Bahia.
