“Hello? Can you hear me?” I don't have to have a network anymore.

Karen Navarrohe has Midi Lourages sound.

Where and when will this antenna be placed?

This antenna must be installed on the territory of the municipality located Close to existing wastewater treatment plant and recycling centrebelow Istankit neighborhood. “It will be in a small hole, which may seem strange at first in terms of its effectiveness. But obviously this is not a problem. The pylon will be 36 meters high with an antenna at the end which will reach 38.50 metres. And It will be green in color allowing it to blend into the vegetation», informs the mayor.
