5G internet speeds range from 1 to 10 Gbps
The autonomous network of the fifth generation – 5G Standalone (SA) – began operating throughout Brazil. This is announced by the National Telecommunications Agency of the Republic, reports TV CULTURA, a partner of TV BRICS.
It is noted that earlier access to 5G, operating without the use of technologies of previous generations, had 770 cities. The network served 35 million users with an average speed of 300Mbps, which is about 13 per cent of the 262 million devices in use.
Now, with the launch of the network in another 190 cities, all regions of Brazil will be able to connect to the new technology. Under the terms of the 5G rollout auction held in 2021, Brazilian telecom operators are required to provide access to the network in all locations by the end of 2029.
Internet speeds in the country could range from 1 to 10 Gbps, which is 100 times faster than the current 4G speed, which is around 19.8 Mbps.

Joao Paulo CapobiancoBrazilian Minister of the Environment and Climate Change"The BRICS countries have a very high level of responsibility because they share an important part of the world's biodiversity, landscapes, populations, food production and water resources. So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification" -
