The 5G Technology, Which Is Expected to Be Available in Its Pure Form in Brazilian Capitals by July, Has Plans with Costs Higher Than 4G Plans: Around R$ 250 Per Month
Initially, the price of the 5G technology plans should remain the same as the 4G plans, as users will benefit from the 5G DSS technology, which uses 4G frequencies to achieve 5G speeds. The forecast for the availability of pure 5G technology (called standalone) is for 2023, when prices will actually rise.

According to the president of Conéxis, Marcos Ferrari, 5G technology will spread in society through applications in the productive sector and smartphones: “Its massification will occur through investments and compliance with the obligations of the bidding process,” he points out. “They will come mainly from established companies in the market, as has happened in countries that have already begun the implementation of 5G.”
The president of the telecom company TIM, Pietro Labriola, states that the consequences stemming from 5G technology will completely change Brazil’s economic landscape. “5G will revolutionize economic activity and provide an unprecedented boost. The expectation is that services will be available in the capitals ahead of the initial deadline (set by Anatel for mid-2022). We are ready to start,” Labriola said.
5G Technology News
5G technology comes with various innovations. Due to the low response time (latency) and high speeds provided by pure 5G, there will be more resources for transportation and logistics services. In agriculture, it will be possible to know which cultivation areas need more water or fertilizer through sensors. Additionally, it will be possible to predict the harvest through drone images.
In telemedicine, the technology could be included in surgeries. In cities, it will be possible to remotely control traffic, water, sanitation, and lighting. In Curitiba, for example, smart solutions have already been studied to control traffic lights. Thus, waiting time would no longer be predefined but proportional to vehicle movement.
A study by Omni predicts that Brazil’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) may increase by R$ 6.5 trillion by 2030, provided all applications of 5G technology are implemented in the country. The operators Vivo, Claro, and TIM anticipate investments of about R$ 150 billion in the creation of 5G networks over the next 8 years.
