Brisanet Telecomunicacoes

News Summary:

Brisanet Telecomunicacoes reported a net profit of BRL 26 million for the second quarter, more than quadrupling its BRL 6.2 million figure from the previous year, with net revenue rising 16 percent year-on-year to BRL 475.9 million, driven by a mobile user base that nearly doubled to 1.07 million customers by the end of June. Earlier, on August 3, 2026, Brazil's National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) granted Brisanet secondary-basis spectrum licenses through 2031, authorizing the operator to expand its mobile network capacity. This followed a July 20, 2026 report stating Brisanet concluded June with 1.07 million mobile accesses, reflecting a 90.4 percent year-over-year growth. Its mobile service reaches 335 municipalities across the Northeast region, providing 4G and 5G network coverage to 16.27 million inhabitants. Previously, on June 25, 2026, Brisanet emerged as the main winner in a tender run by Anatel, the Ministry of Communications, and Seja Digital, securing 700 MHz rural spectrum awards to connect over 90,000 people in 112 locations across 17 Brazilian states. This development built on the May 5, 2026 auction where Brisanet, alongside Amazonia Servicos Digitais, Unifique, and I!, won mobile frequencies in the 700 MHz band, paying BRL 23 million in grants to bring high-quality services to approximately 680,000 people in small towns and connect 6,500 kilometers of federal highways by 2026.
