en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazilian telecom operator Brisanet surpassed 1 million mobile phone subscribers in May. The company's CEO, José Roberto Nogueira, announced this figure on Thursday (11th) at the Teletime Tec event held by TELETIME in São Paulo.

According to the company's operational report, it added 39,200 new users in May, bringing the total active SIM cards to 1.029 million. In May 2025, Brisanet had 530,400 4G and 5G service users; one year later, the customer base grew by 94.1%, an increase of 530,400 users. As of the end of May, the mobile network covered 327 cities, serving a population of over 16 million.

At the TELETIME event, Nogueira stated that Brisanet aims to expand its mobile network coverage to at least 500 cities by the end of 2026, with at least 115 of them in the Central-West region, where the operator plans to launch commercial operations in July. Brisanet has invested approximately 2 billion reais in its mobile phone business. Nogueira noted that investments could have been more optimized if the company had been able to deploy antennas using the 700 MHz band from the start, a spectrum acquired in a recent auction organized by the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel). He said that with the same investment, a larger area could be covered, reaching about 25 million people, thus reducing tower density, which was a major bottleneck previously.

Nogueira emphasized that the company is currently focusing on consumers in classes C, D, and E, who are primarily prepaid users. The average prepaid consumption in the region is 25 reais, while the entry-level control plan is 29.90 reais with 20GB, so the company is trying to convert prepaid users to postpaid ones.

Brisanet's operational report also shows that its fixed broadband service users reached 1.57 million, with approximately 6,000 new contracts added in May.
