Brazil Chooses 1,800 MHZ Frequency For PCS Licenses

Dow Jones Online News, 06/21/2000 15:29

BRASILIA -(Dow Jones)- In a much-awaited decision, Brazilian telecommunications regulator Anatel Wednesday said it has chosen the 1,800 megahertz frequency to award licenses for Personal Communications Services (PCS).

During a press conference to announce the decision, Anatel president Renato Guerreiro stressed that Anatel "made its decision independently of external pressures."

Guerreiro was referring to intense lobbying from telecom equipment manufacturers on behalf of the 1,800 MHz frequency as well as its alternative, the 1,900 MHz frequency.

Anatel's choice means the introduction to Brazil of Global System for Mobility (GSM) technology, at the expense of the prevailing Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Technology.
