China's Huawei Technologies expects around 480 million households
worldwide will have access to fifth-generation (5G) broadband service by
2025, the chief executive of its Brazilian telecoms operations said on
Tuesday.
Speaking at a major telecoms event in Sao Paulo, Derrick
Sun, of Huawei Brasil, noted the company sees more than 70 countries
allocating spectrum to 5G by 2021. So far, 56 countries have deployed 5G networks and 40 have launched some kind of 5G service, Sun said.
Brazil
is still conducting tests before setting up a date for its own 5G
spectrum auction, which according to government authorities will be
carried out next year.
"Brazil has an amazing and fantastic future
for 5G," Sun said, adding the world's largest telecoms equipment maker
has been working hard to make 5G devices more affordable.
According
to Sun, there are currently more than 130 smart devices from different
manufacturers costing around $500 and prices are likely to start
declining as of the second half of 2020.
