📋 Tender Overview
The mobile telephone sector in Brazil recorded, in the second quarter of 2025, its largest growth in five years. According to updated data from Anatels competition monitoring report, linked to the Ministry of Communications, the country reached 266.1 million active hits, which represents an increase of 4.9 million compared to the previous quarter.
Expressive growth reflects the advance of digitization throughout the national territory and the expansion of mobile networks. Cell phone follows as the main means of connection to millions of Brazilians, especially in the most remote regions and in urban peripheries.
The increase in the number of accesses is a clear indicative that we are expanding access to communication, information and digital services in Brazil. Mobile telephony is today an essential tool for inclusion, which connects citizens with opportunities, education, health and the state. And this expansion shows that we are on the right track, said the Minister of Communications, Frederico de Siqueira Filho.
The results reinforce the importance of ongoing connectivity public policies, such as the connected North, which expands fiber optics in the Amazon, Wi-Fi Brazil, which brings free internet to unaccommoded areas, and 4G and 5G investments, which expand the presence of quality signal across the country. The data also show that the demand for connectivity is still high, pulled by message applications, social networks, streaming and digital public services.
Recently, the Ministry of Communications has published Ordinance that establishes the guidelines for the new auction of the 700 MHz radio maid. The proposal aims to transform the reality of thousands of Brazilians living in regions without mobile internet coverage. The bidding of radio frequency ranges represents a new model of digital inclusion, focusing on people and historically neglected regions, reinforcing the commitment of the Ministry of Communications to the universalization of access to connectivity in Brazil.
