This target was announced by iez!'s Director of New Business, Anderson Ferreira, at the Teletime Tec event organized by TELETIME in São Paulo. After obtaining the 700 MHz band license, the operator is now positioned to accelerate its mobile operations. Ferreira stated that with the acquisition of a full 4G license through auction, the company can speed up investments and collaborate with internet service providers (ISPs), and is currently in an accelerated deployment phase. The first ISP has begun testing the platform; with the 700 MHz band, the company is entering a large-scale deployment phase.

Ferreira noted that iez! already has "dozens of operational wireless base stations" and is currently advancing commercial partnerships aimed at reaching agreements with local providers. Small providers will become partners in selling chips, intending to use mobile communications to complement broadband services. The company selects ISP customers to establish long-term relationships, and mobile services precisely meet their needs.

The iez! director also stated that in terms of infrastructure, such as antenna and equipment suppliers, the company is well-prepared to fulfill the coverage obligations stipulated in the 5G tender, with deadlines starting from the end of this year. Ferreira pointed out that the company may have an advantage in inland regions: "When users have 5G phones, the network will be ready for various other services we are exploring." He added, "People who have relied on Wi-Fi in the past will now have street coverage, an experience they have never had before."
