Telecoms regulator Anatel is prioritising spectrum assignations in its agenda for the years 2019 and 2020.
Highlights are the implementation of 5G and the auction of the 3.5 GHz band, as well as of the frequency bands 1427-1518 MHz, 2300-2400 MHz, 4800-4990 MHz and the leftovers in the 700 MHz and 2.5 GHz bands. The plan is to begin deploying 5G on the 3.5 GHz band, which Anatel president Leonardo de Morais expects at the end of 2019 or early 2020.
Also on the agenda is a reduction of regulatory barriers for the expansion of IoT and M2M.
