Brazilian carrier TIM confirmed that Ericsson and Huawei will be the suppliers of equipment for its 5G network, according to Brazilian press reports.
The operator’s CTIO, Leonardo Capdeville, confirmed that the intention of the company is to launch the 5G service before the deadline defined in Brazil’s auction rules, which is July 2022.
“We have a super short goal of being able to activate the capitals and the Federal District by July,” the executive said.
Both companies participated in proofs-of-concept with TIM, in Santa Catarina and Minas Gerais, respectively.
