Brazil empowers citizens through digital transformation

The expansion of 5G coverage in Brazil is happening faster than predicted. The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel), linked to the Ministry of Communications, reports that 2019 municipalities are already covered by fifth-generation mobile communications, representing 64.94 per cent of Brazil's population. This result significantly exceeds the coverage level planned for 2027, demonstrating significant progress in the development of the 5G network.

Minister of Communications Frederico de Siqueira noted that the advancement of 5G in Brazil is the result of a targeted government policy aimed at the country's development. "Our goal is to provide quality connectivity to all regions, reduce inequality and promote opportunities through digital transformation," he stated.

This achievement was made possible by the joint efforts of the Ministry of Communications and Anatel to expand connectivity and digital integration.

Beyond enhanced speed and stability, 5G stimulates digital transformation and contributes to the development of national competitiveness across critical sectors like healthcare, education, industry, agribusiness, and smart cities.
