The repeater station at El Negrito is located at an elevation of 4200 meters above sea level and approximately 140 km from the city of San Miguel de Tucumán. The inaccessibility of the mountainous terrain required pack animals to transport the equipment to the installation site.
The installation allows more than 10 communities in the Calchaquies valley to be connected with the national communications system. Also, it allows the trasmission of all communications traffic from the Providence of Salta to the Providence of Tucumán.
