Both countries will also seek to promote Open RAN in other countries across Latin America
Brazil’s telecommunications regulator Anatel and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan (MIC) signed a cooperation agreement with the main aim of expanding Open RAN deployments and related technologies.
The regulator said that the cooperation deal also seeks to explore business opportunities between the two countries.
“From Japan’s perspective, Brazil has been a great partner in digital expansion for many years. By building a cooperation relationship with us, Brazil places Open RAN as a major priority area, which becomes a great opportunity to continue the cooperation relationships”, said Japan’s general director for international affairs, Nomura Eigo.
“Open networks are increasingly attracting the attention of the government of Japan, which has been promoting policies to facilitate implementation by operators,” Eigo added.
