Technology in Costa Rica Always Advancing
Although Latin America and advanced technologies are not always thought of as going hand-in-hand in most peoples’ minds, technology in Costa Rica is actually very advanced. All of the creature comforts of home are easy to find, whether you’re visiting Costa Rica or you’ve chosen to begin living in Costa Rica full- or part-time.
In fact, technology in Costa Rica is so advanced, and its economic and political climates are so favorable, that it is quickly becoming one of the most popular places in the world to maintain call centers and Internet help desks. This means a wealth of new job opportunities for people living in Costa Rica.
With the Costa Rican government’s recent addition of bandwidth, Internet speeds and the variety of Internet-based services for people living in Costa Rica will continue to grow at a rapid pace. As the industry is opened up to privatization, Costa Rica technology will benefit from heightened market competition, leading to even lower prices and better services for everyone living in Costa Rica.
In another area of Costa Rican technology, a strong cellular infrastructure is in place to support cell phones in Costa Rica, and most of the major players in wireless communications have already made their presence known there, including Motorola, Ericsson, Sony, Siemens, Alcatel, and Nokia. There is a wide variety of cell phones in Costa Rica, as well as a complete selection of cell phone accessories, available to everyone living in Costa Rica.
Across Latin America, Costa Rica is ranked in the top three for technological advancement, as announced in the 2006 Latin American Technology Index. Costa Rica is number one in PC and fixed-telecom penetration, and widespread use of Internet in Costa Rica was ranked second. High-speed, broadband Internet in Costa Rica is available, and more than one-quarter of the people living in Costa Rica are now wireless.
The medical technology in Costa Rica is also highly advanced. All public hospitals are committed to continually replacing any outdated technological equipment, which has long made Costa Rica a popular place for medical supply companies to do business. With a growing number of foreigners visiting Costa Rica each year in search of safe, affordable medical procedures (such as cosmetic dentistry, breast implants, laser eye surgery, and facelifts), the availability of state-of-the-art medical technology in Costa Rica will continue to rise.
