Huawei encourages Brazil to prepare for 5G Advanced technology
In Brazil, average 5G speeds for consumer commercial services are around 500 Mbps, with latency below 12 milliseconds.
Brazil is rapidly advancing in the adoption and deployment of fifth-generation technology, with over 31 million 5G connections as of the first half of 2024, representing 12% of the country’s mobile market, just under three years since the official launch of 5G in Brazil.
Huawei has advised Brazil to begin preparing for 5.5G technology, an evolution of 5G, officially recognized as 5G Advanced since January 2023 by the telecommunications industry. Although Huawei has only recently begun discussing it in Brazil, the country stands out in Latin America for its remarkable 5G adoption, surpassing even some developed economies.
Brazil has been praised for organizing one of the world’s first 5G auctions in 2021, which focused more on expanding coverage than on raising revenue. This approach attracted $8.5 billion in investment commitments for the deployment of fifth-generation networks, opening up potential contracts for Huawei and its competitors.
In Brazil, average 5G speeds for consumer commercial services are around 500 Mbps, with latency below 12 milliseconds. 5G networks already account for nearly 20% of the total mobile data traffic in the country.
Huawei believes that Brazil is a strong candidate to deploy 5G Advanced networks soon, driven by increasing traffic demands and the numerous use-case opportunities in key sectors like mining, agriculture, energy, and manufacturing, where Brazil is a global leader. In 2023, Brazil was the largest Latin American market for Huawei, with purchases totaling $4.89 billion, an 11% increase from 2022.
James Wang, Vice President of Huawei Brazil, urged the country to prepare for 5.5G, emphasizing the integration of artificial intelligence into mobile networks. This combination, along with fifth-generation technology, will bring a significant transformation to both consumer connectivity and industrial production.
