5G Auction

The auction for the concession of 5G bands was carried out by Anatel in November this year. On the day, the Agency announced batches divided into national and regional, in four frequency bands: 700MHz; 2.3 GHz; 3.5 GHz and 26 GHz.

To participate, companies had to meet all the requirements set out in the notice.

On December 7, the federal government and ten companies that won the auction signed radio frequency contracts for the use of the technology in Brazil. The Minister of Communications, Fábio Faria, said that R$47 billion in investments, R$42 billion for the sector and R$5 billion transferred to the Ministry of Economy.

The minister also believes that by July 2022, the capitals of the country’s 27 federative units will already have the 5G offer.
