Telebras to have everything ready to start activating its Ka band customers in October

"We are finalizing the terrestrial infrastructure. This month we have installed the missing antennas, two 13-meter gateways," Bruno Soares Henriques, Telebras Technology and Satellite Solutions manager, told Convergencialatina, at the Latin American Summit in Rio de Janeiro. The company plans to allocate 45% of its Ka band capacity to deploy the GESAC network, government services and ISPs and the remaining capacity will be resold to private companies as Telebras cannot offer services to the final customer. Henriques emphasized that 100% of SGDC’s capacity will be directly or indirectly for the National Broadband Plan "because the public offer proposes to provide telecommunications infrastructure for the suppliers in 55% and the rest of the infrastructure and services for the government. That's what Telebras should do. “The executive said that he does not know how many of those that said they would like to participate in the public offering will effectively participate.
