Wednesday, July 6, 2022. The rollout of 5G in Brazil begins today.starting with the country's capital, BrasiliaAfter a long wait and much media attention, Fifth-generation high-speed mobile internet arrives in Brazil. and promises to revolutionize the way we "navigate" the internetIt's normal, however, for questions to arise regarding the new technology: How does it work? What are the main advantages? What is needed for implementation? Learn more about it. 5G Internet in Brazil: Learn everything about the new internet model. in this article!
What is 5G technology?
5G technology is the fifth generation of mobile internet, offering greater range and speed.The 5G network enables... interconnection of equipment and devices, enabling access to innovative products and smart home appliances, known as Internet of Things (IoT).
In addition to interconnection with other home and office equipment, the network5G mobile technology ensures better download and upload processing times., higher data transfer speed per second and a savings of up to 90% in consumption power supply of the devices.
In short, It's much faster!
Key features of 5G
Compared to a Wi-Fi network, 5G internet data transmission is highly advanced.Thousands of devices can be connected to the same network and operated remotely on 5G; something that in the wireless model is limited to the number of connected devices – that's the... The potential of 5G for the Internet of Things (IoT) model and Industry 4.0..
THE large difference in speed (Information transfer or latency) is evident: a 4G device takes up to 54 milliseconds to process a 1 Gigabyte video download; 5G processes up to 20 Gigabytes in an interval of 1 to 2 milliseconds – 20 times faster!
Number of connected devices – another advantage! 4G supports up to 10,000 devices per kilometer; while 5G covers up to 1 million devices per kilometer.This is a great advantage when we consider the continental proportions of our country and the potential reach in rural areas and industrial parks.
All these advantages brought about by 5G provide improvements and new digital behaviorsSmart homes, remote learning and work, technological advancements in urban mobility, industry digitization, progress in automation, artificial intelligence and robotics…and much more!

What is the cost of 5G technology?
So many benefits and so much speed certainly don't come for free!
Yes, most likely. New smartphones will be needed to use 5G internet.since many current models do not support the technology.
There are already models available, but at much higher prices.. The ANATEL (The National Telecommunications Agency) listed the main compatible devices in Brazil. In short, Apple's iPhone 12 and later models support the new technology; for Samsung, from the Galaxy A73 5G line onwards.
5G plans and data packages marketed by the main Brazilian operators (Vivo, Claro, TIM), initially They must offer premium value. On average, it costs between R$100 and R$150 reais per month for limited or unlimited packages, depending on the operator. The trend is for the service to become cheaper and more popular over time.
5G in Brazil
After definition, testing, implementation, and some delays, the Fifth-generation internet goes live in its "pure version". (standalone), operated exclusively in the 3.5 GHz frequency band – initially in Brasília.
In the standalone model, operators can exploit the signal without support from the 700 MHz frequency, also used by 4G; this model grants operators 1 antenna per group of 100,000 inhabitants.
In fact, that is One of the great challenges of technology: the necessary deployment of antennas for 5G operation.Brasilia, for example, will have initial coverage of 80%. Other capitals and cities are investing in the equipment and structuring of the technology to follow the implementation.
Incidentally, the ANATEL predicts that São Paulo (SP), Belo Horizonte (MG), Porto Alegre (RS) and João Pessoa (PB) These are the next hubs for 5G deployment. Activation is expected in all Brazilian capitals by December this year.
5G in the world
5G is already here. present in more than 34 countries Worldwide: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Japan, China, Taiwan, Germany, among others.
THE South Korea was the first country. to launch 5G commercially, in 2019.
There is no shortage of examples of 5G applications and uses in the most modern and technologically advanced countries.
Brazil joins this select group today! This marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of technology in Brazil.
