Brazilian Operators Introduce Fourth-Generation Mobile Communication Standard

The mobile communication standard of the fourth generation is being introduced by all leading operators in Brazil.

In June 2012 Telecom regulator ANATEL conducted a frequency auction for the 2,500MHz and 450MHz frequencies to be used for the 4G networks. Besides the established mobile network operators Vivo, Claro, Tim and Oi, pay TV providers Sky and Sunrise were also able to secure licences for some attractive local markets.

Driven by the increased data hunger of mobile devices as a result of broadband applications such as social networks, video-streaming and also mobile TV, the network rollout is now rapidly getting underway after the auction. In urban areas, licences came with requirements for preferred coverage of venues for the Confed Cup 2013 and World Cup 2014. There are also requirements to provide service in rural areas.

Besides frequency allocation, ANATEL in Brazil is responsible for approving the products and vendors of the networks. Due to the fact that low-grade and cheap components led to problems with network quality (call drops, static, low data rate) in the past, ANATEL is placing large emphasis on the use of high-quality technology.

This is the value add that SPINNER offers: high-quality and high-performance components and passive RF solutions. For the infrastructure of outdoor base stations SPINNER provides connectors, jumper cables and accessories with outstanding RF properties so you get the best connections with a minimum of installation effort. For in-building and network combining, SPINNER offers its extensive and high-performance MNCS® portfolio.

As a result of the introduction of LTE, the need is increasing to be able to combine a sharply increasing number of networks with low levels of loss and without interruptions and to distribute these signals within buildings and structures of all kinds. In order to achieve this most effectively, the MNCS® solution offers the best credentials having already proven itself worldwide, and is also the best option for the Brazilian market.

SPINNER not only sells hardware, but is also a top service partner: Together with our costumers we create the best suitable solution for a very diverse spectrum of applications. The modularity is future-proof. SPINNER can allow its experience to speak for itself both in classical installations as well as with MIMO solutions. We have already been able to delight and enthuse our customers on the strength of a large number of our reference projects.

MNCS® is ideally suited to meet the increased quality requirements of ANATEL and Latin American customers. The focus of all SPINNER products is on low PIM (passive intermodulation), low levels of insertion loss and high isolation of the different carrier signals - between the bands, as well as within the bands.

SPINNER has already adapted its components to the increased power requirements. Together these features improve speech quality, result in less call drops and provide high data rates.
