According to Conexis Brasil, which manages the Conecte 5G project, the existence of municipal laws that facilitate antenna installation, with clear guidelines and swift licensing processes, attracts investments by providing legal certainty for operators.
Expanding at a rapid pace, coverage has beaten the targets set by watchdog Anatel. The network covers over 150 cities countrywide. Operators, however, call for clearer rules and speedier licensing.
Standalone 5G should be made available next Monday in Aracaju, Boa Vista, Campo Grande, Cuiabá, Maceió, São Luís, and Teresina, per telecom authority Anatel.
Claro, Tim, and Vivo are to switch on 102 stations in Fortaleza, 63 in Recife, and 33 in Natal by Nov. 28. The signal is already available in 12 other Brazilian capitals.
Providers must fulfill the first coverage requirement of the notice by installing at least one 5G antenna for every group of 100,000 inhabitants in Brazilian capitals.
