According to information from the public notice for the new 5G, in addition to Brasilia, other capitals may also be the first to try out the technology
On Wednesday the 6th, a new tech arrived in Brasilia, the so-called 5G. The federal capital was the first city in Brazil to receive full 5G technology, which is the complete experience of this signal. According to information from Moisés Moreira, Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency) advisor, the capitals, in addition to Brasília, that will receive the new 5G technology will be Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre and São Paulo. The plan is to deploy 5G in all capitals, in addition to Brasília, by September 29.
Currently, numerous cities in Brazil, including the federal capital, Brasília, use the Dynamic Spectrum Sharing standard (DSS), which, although offering better quality, uses a frequency that already exists in 4G, which occurs in most countries, according to the company responsible for analyzing the performance metrics of internet access in the world, Ookla. Countries that fully utilize the most advanced 5G technology are few.
Today, the country that most uses 5G speed is South Korea, which has an average download of 406 megabits per second. The average of 4G technology is 17,1 megabits per second.

5G technology
5G technology, which recently appeared in Brasilia, is a new networked data transport technology involving mobile devices. It is the fifth generation with the previous generations, the 4G, 3G, 2G and 1G. While 1G had a speed of 2kbits and 4G of 1Gbits, 5G will guarantee a speed to download information of up to 100Gbits. The ability of 5G to connect devices will be able to cover about 1 million electronic devices per square kilometer.
Among the parameters that the new technology that has already debuted in Brasilia will offer is the ability to allow more electronic devices to be connected at the same time, an advance that is increasingly necessary given the advancement of the internet of communication, which is increasingly integrated among technological devices. With this, the browsing speed will also increase with 5G, thus, the consumption of more complex services, such as file transfers, real-time communications, consumption of streaming or electronic games, will be simpler.
According to MCTIC, Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations and Communications, 5G is beyond just an improvement over previous generations.
As described in the document that discusses the Brazilian strategy for technology, which is already present in Brasilia, “5G mobile networks will provide advanced mobile broadband services, with higher data rates, lower latency and more capacity, which will enable enormous potential for new value-added wireless services”.
Changes with new technology
The new 5G technology that emerged in Brasilia this Wednesday, the 6th, will support numerous types of beneficial applications. These applications range from payment systems to enabling self-driving cars, as well as other Internet products involving sensors and monitoring in factories or without public services.
In the assessment of MCTIC, 5G will also contribute to production. “5G will be an important component in increasing the seamless exchange of data between machines, facilities, humans and robots, which will enable the development of a logistics intelligent, connected production of cyber-physical and machine-to-machine communication systems. The combination of these and other digital technologies in the secondary sector enables the industrial advance known as 'Industry 4.0'”, highlights the MCTIC in the public consultation document on the strategy for 5G, carried out last year.
