Guide pratique pour rester joignable à Cuba malgré les pannes, les coupures d’électricité et les connexions instables.
Remote work in Cuba is possible only with careful backup planning. Hotel WiFi, mobile data and electricity can be inconsistent, so travellers should not schedule critical work without alternatives.
Quick answer: do not rely on one connection, one device or one power source. Download essential files before departure and keep clients or colleagues informed that connectivity may be interrupted.
Internet options
Travellers may use hotel WiFi, ETECSA services, mobile data, roaming or an eSIM depending on device compatibility and current availability. Review our Internet in Cuba guide.
Hotel WiFi limitations
A hotel may advertise WiFi without guaranteeing reliable speed in every room. Lobbies and common areas may have stronger coverage than guest rooms, and performance can drop when many people connect.
Power interruptions
Power outages can affect routers, charging, air conditioning and mobile networks. Keep a charged power bank and work offline whenever possible. Learn more in our Cuba power outage guide.
Prepare before departure
- download working files and reference documents;
- enable offline access where possible;
- install required applications before travelling;
- save passwords securely;
- carry charging cables and a compatible adapter;
- prepare a communication backup.
Protect sensitive information
Avoid accessing confidential systems over an untrusted network without appropriate security. Follow your employer’s rules concerning VPNs, devices, data storage and international work.
Set realistic expectations
Video calls, large uploads and cloud-based work may be unreliable. Schedule flexible deadlines and avoid promising immediate responses during outages or travel days.
