Brazil's operators prepare to increase 5G rollouts with additional spectrum
The recently concluded multi-spectrum auction held in Brazil was dominated by the incumbent telcos, though there was room for several smaller players to secure regional licences.
The licensees are obliged to provide 5G services to all capital cities by July 2022, as well as to about 35,780km of the national highway network. Unusually, all licenses can potentially be used to provide wholesale services.
The auction raised R$47.2 billion, though R$7.44 billion of this has tentatively been deferred to encourage the licensees to extend services into underserved areas.
Since 2020 the government has come under pressure from the US to ban Chinese companies such as Huawei from being involved in building 5G networks, due to security concerns. However, Brazil opted not to impose restrictions on the use of Huawei's 5G network equipment. Huawei already supplies equipment for nearly half of the 3G and LTE networks in Brazil, and excluding it would have cost billions of dollars to replace. Following the auction, Huawei was quick to negotiate with licensees, most being existing long-term customers.
Despite the auction delay, operators have launched 5G services on a limited basis. Telefonica is developing 5G services for industrial processes using AI and machine learning at its lab in Madrid, and user cases will initially be deployed in Germany and Brazil.
