Brazilian Government Plans to Deliver 21 Fixed Private Networks by 2026

en.Wedoany.com Reported - The construction of fixed private networks in the Federal District of Brazil will be carried out in phases, with initial operations in some capital cities this year, expanding to 21 cities by 2026. The network is planned to connect approximately 6,500 government nodes, representing one of the subsequent goals that the Brazilian government, as the entity managing the frequency band (EAF - Entidade Administradora da Faixa), must fulfill after the launch of mobile private networks in the Federal District.

Fixed private networks are one of the obligations established in the 5G auction of 2021. Implementation is managed by the EAF, coordinated under the Interference Problem Solution Implementation Monitoring Group (Gaispi - Grupo de Acompanhamento da Implantação das Soluções para os Problemas de Interferência), with funding provided by telecom operators as part of their payments for the 3.5GHz band (used for 5G).

The capital cities scheduled to deliver private networks by 2026 include: Belém, Belo Horizonte, Boa Vista, Campo Grande, Curitiba, Florianópolis, Goiânia, Porto Velho, Recife, Fortaleza, João Pessoa, Macapá, Maceió, Manaus, Natal, Palmas, Rio Branco, Salvador, São Luís, Teresina, and Vitória.

The operation of these networks is likely to be handled by the Brazilian telecommunications company Telebrás. However, discussions are ongoing within the state-owned enterprise and the government regarding network operation and maintenance costs, as well as the need to strengthen investments in the backbone and backhaul networks of the state-owned enterprise (since the portion delivered by the EAF corresponds only to the metropolitan area network ring). Due to unresolved factors, there is currently no clear timeline, nor is it certain whether these networks can be put into operation.
