en.Wedoany.com Reported - V.tal announced this Wednesday (10th) its plan to install 4G and 5G infrastructure in all stations and tunnels of São Paulo Metro's Yellow Line 4. Equipment installation will begin in July, with completion expected in the second half of 2027.

According to the neutral network operator, mobile communication infrastructure will be operational in five stations within this year, including Vila Sônia – Profª Elisabeth Tenreiro, São Paulo-Morumbi, Butantã, Pinheiros, and Faria Lima-Pagbank. The line comprises a total of 11 stations, and V.tal plans to deploy 223 antennas and 40 remote transmission units.

Currently, Yellow Line 4, operated by concessionaire Motiva, is already equipped with connectivity devices, but the existing system faces limitations due to data traffic demand. V.tal's project aims to install a unique, shared, and neutral network infrastructure, enabling different operators to use the same technological foundation in an integrated manner. Base stations will be connected via 20 kilometers of fiber optics and an additional 40 kilometers of hybrid cables capable of transmitting both power and data simultaneously.

In addition to enhancing 4G coverage, the plan promises to introduce 5G connectivity on the line for the first time. Lucas Aliberti, Chief Commercial Officer of V.tal, stated in a press release that by installing neutral and scalable network infrastructure, the project brings innovation to Line 4, offering connectivity covering all metro environments and a higher-speed data usage experience during travel. Antonio Marcio Barros Silva, Executive Director of Yellow Line 4, emphasized that improving connectivity on the line meets a long-standing customer demand, representing a significant advancement in the travel experience, with the goal of ensuring passengers remain connected throughout their journey.

V.tal is currently undertaking a similar project for Orange Line 6, operated by Linha Uni, which is expected to enter service in the second half of this year.
