Empowering Tourists with 5G Technology
TIM Brazil says the introduction of 5G technology not only enhances the daily lives of local residents by providing faster internet speeds, but it will be another attraction to over 20 million tourists who visit these regions each year to enjoy the winter climate.
With 5G, travellers can easily share more data and stream live content, showcasing the beauty of Campos do Jordao, exploring the attractions of Gramado and Canela in the Serra Gaucha region, and embarking on tours through the charming historic centres of Petropolis and Teresopolis in the Serra Imperial of Rio de Janeiro.
"Our main objective with 5G is to provide unprecedented experiences for our customers. We know that many people visit these cities during winter, and we want to offer a seamless connection so that both residents and tourists can share their experiences in real-time. Our aim is also to stimulate the economy and commerce in these tourist destinations, encouraging even more people to explore them," explained TIM Brazil in its official release.

TIM also added that implementing 5G technology is expected to have a favourable impact on the regional economy, besides enhancing connectivity and improving digital experiences. It will enable automation in the agriculture sector and provide benefits like remote healthcare and distance learning.
Additionally, it will aid in the growth of local e-commerce, thereby allowing artisans specializing in winter clothing, traditional pastries called cucas, beer, and chocolates to increase their online presence.
No SIM Change Required
Importantly, no SIM card change will be necessary to access 5G services; customers need only have a compatible smartphone. Currently, TIM has more than 50 percent of the 5G antennas in the country and is still expanding its network by implementing the technology in different areas.
