For the installation of this project, an authorization was granted by Anatel temporary use.
Mega Telecom participates in the project providing the broadband connection for the Internet, while Cisco offers WiFi 6E access points and implementation and operation were handled by Linktel. “We are being pioneers working on this project. It is a support of high frequencies technology, bringing an evolution to the Wi-Fi system comparable to 5G, with high standard transmission rates and latencies”, explains Jonas Trunk, CEO from Linktel WiFi.
