Análise da implantação da rede de telefonia móvel celular 5G na Cidade de Manaus-AM: estudo de caso /

Abstract

The evolution of telecommunications technologies has brought significant transformations to contemporary society, particularly with the advent of fifth-generation mobile networks, known as 5G. This technology promises higher connection speeds, lower latency, and the ability to connect a significantly larger number of devices simultaneously, enabling advancements in solutions such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, industrial automation, and real-time connectivity. However, the deployment of 5G in regions with specific geographic and socioeconomic characteristics, such as the city of Manaus-AM, presents technical, logistical, and social challenges that warrant scientific investigation. This study aims to analyze the main factors influencing the implementation of the 5G mobile network in Manaus, considering its current technological infrastructure, the logistical obstacles posed by the Amazon region, the socioeconomic impact of the technology, and the prospects for the development of Industry 4.0 within the Manaus Industrial Hub (PIM). The research adopts a case study methodology with a qualitative and quantitative approach, based on bibliographic review, document analysis, and secondary data collection from sources such as ANATEL, IBGE, ITU, and telecommunications operator reports. The results indicate that, despite recent progress in terms of coverage and spectrum availability, there are still limitations related to fiber optic infrastructure, antenna density, and unequal access in peripheral and riverside areas. Furthermore, the integration of 5G into the local industrial sector still requires substantial investments in modernization and technical training. The study concludes that achieving the full benefits of 5G in Manaus requires coordinated efforts between public policies, operator strategies, and digital inclusion initiatives. This research contributes to the understanding of regional challenges in the deployment of 5G in Brazil and provides insights for more equitable and sustainable technological development strategies.
