5G in Latin America
Source: GSMA Intelligence.
5G is not just another G. The fifth generation features three distinctive characteristics: ultra-fast speeds, ultra-low latency, and the ability to support massive connections. These capabilities pave the way for countless applications, making the greatest impact of 5G likely to be in the enterprise sector. From autonomous vehicles and smart cities to advanced industrial automation, 5G will drive digital transformation.
Realizing the potential of 5G depends on the ability of countries in the region to create a favourable environment for the deployment and use of this technology. Governments and regulators play a key role in:
- Providing the appropriate spectrum in necessary quantities, at reasonable prices and conditions.
- Streamlining permits and administrative conditions for the installation of mobile sites and antennas.
- Rethinking taxes and fees that pose obstacles to investment or undermine the affordability of services.
- Promoting modern, future-proof regulation that provides the legal certainty needed to encourage investment.
