📋 Tender Overview
From July, more Brazilian families will benefit from a program, led by the Ministry of Communications, which guarantees quality access to open TV across the country.
Siga Deny, executed in partnership with the administrative entity of the track (EAF), supervised by Anatel and has served more than 5 million families, will be expanded.
In this new stage, seven cities of Ceara will benefit: Catunda, Croata, Deputy Irapuan Pinheiro, Milha, Monsignor Tabosa, Quiterianopolis and Solonopole.
The program, created as a counterpart of the 5G auction, consists of the free distribution of digital satellite antennas.
, considered one of the largest digital inclusion actions ever carried out in the country.
Initially, the program served families from CadUnico who used traditional satellite. Now, from next month, will serve people who live in cities with low (or no) land signal coverage and who did not have the old satellite.
The equipment guarantees the reception with high definition sound and image and more than 100 open channels.
Reaching five million homes with this free benefit is a historical achievement. We are promoting digital inclusion, expanding access to quality information and preparing Brazil for the new age of connectivity, said Communications Minister Frederico de Siqueira Filho during the programs balance sheet.
In addition to bringing the new digital satellite free of charge to the population, the program also allowed the complete release of the 3.5 GHz range, which allows the implementation of 5G throughout the national territory. The cleaning of the track was completed 14 months before the scheduled deadline.
More than changing antennas, we deliver dignity, access to information and quality connectivity to millions of families. This is the Legacy of Siga Denied: a project of high technical complexity, which required national logistics, development of tailored solutions and coordination with dozens of public and private partners, said Leandro Guerra, CEO of EAF. We show that it is possible to execute a public policy on a continental scale with efficiency, innovation and purpose, transforming the present and preparing the country for the digital future, he added.
First phase
Families eligible for the program and have not yet changed their traditional satellite until June 30 to request and schedule the installation of their new digital satellite antenna. Schedule, delivery and installation of the digital kit are free. More information is available at or by calling 0800 729 2404, which also meets messages via WhatsApp.
Second phase
Initially only intended for users of CadUnico with traditional satellite, the program was expanded in May 2025 through ordinance of the Ministry of Communications. The extra phase will include low -income residents in 323 municipalities with limited terrestrial coverage, even if they do not have installed satellite.
Cities were prioritized in 16 Brazilian states: Bahia (20), Ceara (7), Espirito Santo (2), Goias (21), Maranhao (46), Minas Gerais (30), Mato Grosso (23), Mato Grosso do Sul (4), Pernambuco (3), Piaui (88), Rio Grande do Norte (9), Roraima (3), 4), 4) and Tocantins (44).
Substitution is required to avoid interference caused by 5G activation, which uses the same frequency range (3.5 GHz). New equipment offers better signal performance, reception stability and superior audio and video quality.
The complete list of the municipalities contemplated is available on the programs website.
