The Directing Council of the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) decided this Thursday (8/6), unanimously, to send to the Superintendence of Granting and Provisioning Resources (SOR) the proposals of public call for an evaluation of the existence of possible interested in the use of the 1.9 GHz, 2.5 GHz and 39.5 GHz bands to provide broadband service.
The 39.5 GHz band has been increasingly used in several countries for the provision of high capacity wireless broadband and has been studied for applications in fixed 5G and WiFi 6. The 1.9 GHz bands and 2.5 GHz, in turn, were destined to 3G and 4G technologies in previous Anatel tenders; the remaining lots must be the subject of a public call.
The public call process, it should be clarified, aims to raise the number of possible interested parties to allow the Agency to decide whether to carry out a bidding process for the sale of radio frequency use authorizations.
