Traditional satellite dishes will soon become obsolete due to the implementation of 5G technology in Brazil, as both use the same radio frequency band.
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.
Companies making 100 thousand short calls in one day may be blocked for 15 days. Operators must also build a public platform with the names of the firms making the calls.
Standalone 5G should be made available next Monday in Aracaju, Boa Vista, Campo Grande, Cuiabá, Maceió, São Luís, and Teresina, per telecom authority Anatel.
