Brisanet is now offering 4G and 5G connectivity in 24 cities, covering a total of one million people in Ceara and Rio Grande do Norte. TeleTime quotes CEO Roberto Nogueira as saying: ‘We started sales in the cities surrounding our headquarters, [before] extending to other cities in the states of Ceara and Rio Grande do Norte, since our company operates more strongly in these locations.’ The networks went live in August using the 2.3GHz band.
TeleGeography notes that the Ceara-based ISP acquired a trio of 5G concessions in 2021’s multi-band spectrum auction: a pair of 80MHz 3.5GHz licences covering the Northeast and Midwest, plus a 50MHz block of 2.3GHz spectrum covering the Northeast. Huawei was selected as Brisanet’s 5G vendor in May 2022.
