Análise da capacidade da Rede 5G: um estudo de caso nos bairros de Manaus

Abstract

The advancement of 5G technology in Manaus represents a significant milestone, providing higher speed and efficiency in internet access, as well as driving the city’s digital development. However, one of the main challenges for its full implementation is the need to expand infrastructure, including the installation of new antennas to ensure broader and more efficient coverage. Adapting the city to the requirements of 5G involves both technical and regulatory aspects, demanding continuous investment and network improvements to meet the growing demand for connectivity. The research analyzed four key metrics of mobile phone service in two neighborhoods of Manaus, AM. Using the Opensignal software, download and upload speeds, latency, signal availability, and connection consistency were measured in the neighborhoods of Parque 10 de Novembro and Jorge Teixeira. The study concluded that location and infrastructure are fundamental to achieving high-quality internet service. Improvements in the quality of services provided by carriers can have a positive impact across various sectors, promoting better daily life for residents and boosting the city’s economic and industrial growth. Thus, despite structural challenges, the enhancement of 5G in Manaus follows a promising trajectory. Continuous investment in infrastructure and technology will be essential to consolidate this innovation and maximize its benefits for society and the productive sector.
