The public auction of the fifth generation (5G) mobile network in Brazil will be carried out by the National Telecommunications Agency ("ANATEL"), the governmental entity that holds jurisdiction over the implementation, regulation and operation of telecommunication networks and services in Brazil.

The purpose of the auction is to grant licenses for the use of radio frequencies that support the provision of telecommunication services through 5G networks. The draft of the auction notice that was made available by ANATEL in February 2020 for public consultation (Public Consultation No. 09/2020) indicates that licenses will encompass four main frequency bands, as follows:

(i) 700 MHz band: Comprised of two national lots, ranked as primary and secondary, the latter being directed to municipalities of up to 100,000 inhabitants in the relevant coverage areas. This license will be valid until December 2029 (as opposed to the others, which are subject to a 20-year term),
