During MWC22 Barcelona, Brazilian operator TIM and Huawei signed a memorandum of cooperation on 5G City joint innovation promote the construction of smart cities in Brazil through the 5G city model project. Taking the green city of Brazil－Curitiba as the first 5G city as a model, it will create a model benchmark in Latin America and the world. Leonardo Capdeville, Chief Network Technology Officer of TIM, and Cao Ming, Vice President of Huawei’s Wireless Network Product Line, attended the signing ceremony.

TIM and Huawei have partnered to deploy 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G networks in Brazil. With the widespread application of 5G, simplicity, greenness, and intelligence have become the key demands of 5G networks, and through innovative solutions, consumers will be provided with a leading 5G experience. For the future, the two parties will continue to carry out 5G innovation cooperation: Massive MIMO multi-antenna, dynamic spectrum sharing, intelligent operation and maintenance and other products and solutions are verified and deployed, and continue to innovate on the Massive MIMO multi-antenna technology that has been commercialized on a large scale to enhance 5G coverage and improve network capacity and bit efficiency.

As the leader of 4G network coverage in Brazil and the forerunner of 5G network, TIM has always been committed to providing consumers with the best network and experience. Leonardo Capdeville, Chief Network Technology Officer of TIM, said: “This cooperation is a milestone in the construction of TIM’s 5G network and an important innovative practice for TIM to lead the industry as a global mainstream operator. TIM and Huawei continue to cooperate deeply in Brazil to build a leading 5G network and build a 5G network city. Curitiba is the most innovative city in Brazil and in the whole of South America, and we are very pleased to launch the (5G City) project here that can have a huge impact on the country’s economic development.”

Cao Ming, Vice President of Huawei’s Wireless Network Product Line, said: “We are honored to cooperate with TIM on 5G projects. Huawei will continue to support TIM, leveraging industry-leading Massive MIMO and other 5G solution technologies and rich commercial experience to help TIM build the optimal 5G network will always maintain a leading position in 5G network construction.”
