Brazilian telecommunications provider Brisanet has launched its 5G fixed-wireless access (FWA) service in 76 cities across the Northeast region of Brazil. The country's second-largest ISP officially launched its FWA service during the 5G service launch ceremony in Ceara's capital, Fortaleza, with Huawei as its main network supplier, according to a Bnamericas report.
Brisanet's 5G network is already installed and currently covers around 80 percent of Ceara's territory, with a goal of reaching 95 percent coverage by the end of 2024.
The company obtained regional licenses for 5G in the 2021 auction, making it a new entrant in the mobile market with the goal of challenging the leadership of national mobile carriers in the country's northeast region. According to the report, Brisanet plans to invest USD 176 million in its 5G operations in Ceara.
On its website, Brisanet claims its FWA 5G service is the best residential Internet in the Northeast. The telco has also launched a limited-time offer valid until August 31, where customers can enjoy 5G FWA Internet service bundled with 500GB of data and a Wi-Fi 6 device for BRL 129.99 per month for 12 months.
The telco states that its FWA equipment is easy to use without the need for cables or wall modifications. The FWA device comes preconfigured and ready to use.
According to Brisanet's latest operational data, the company had over 128,000 mobile customers as of the end of June. The mobile network is present in 115 municipalities in the state.
