Since last Thursday, the 15th, Claro, Tim and Vivo can already start registering their antennas for the implementation of 5G in 15 more cities in Brazil. Most of them encompass the metropolitan region of capitals.
The release of the signal for the 3.5 GHz frequency will continue until January 2023. See list and schedule below.
Why is there a delay in implementing frequency in Brazil?
All because of satellite TVs. It turns out that the frequency spectrum needed for 5G is currently occupied by Open Satellite TV. Therefore, it is necessary for users to change their satellite dishes for receivers compatible with the Ku Band so that there is no interference.
It is good to emphasize that the frequency band is used only by open TV. Pay-TV satellite signals, such as Sky and Claro TV, are not affected.
Families enrolled in the Single Registry (CadÚnico) of the Federal Government can request the exchange free of charge. To do so, simply make an appointment via the Siga Antenado website or call 0800 729 2404 with your CPF or Social Identification Number (NIS) from your registration in hand.
It is predicted that about 1.4 million peopledo the band change. However, only 11,500 kits have been distributed so far.
