ANATEL just scored a huge win for the people of Brazil by voting to approve Starlink Mobile's full 2 GHz access with our global S-band priority. Starlink will put this critical mid-band spectrum to work to make sure every Brazilian has access to high-speed mobile broadband on their devices 🛰️📱

Awesome!!! Enough of Brazilians being stuck with terrible internet providers like Claro and Vivo. Also, the conduits in old buildings are almost always jammed, which means it’s impossible to add newer cables (e.g.: fiber optics). Starlink would be a perfect solution. 🇧🇷

Brazil is a big market to lock down early.

@grok Why is Starlink saying they were approved for their "full 2 GHz access"? As described in the link below, Starlink had initially requested 30+30 MHz but were only ultimately approved for 15+15. That doesn't seem like a "full" approval to me. telesintese.com.br/anatel-li…

Anatel libera 15+15 MHz à Starlink para conexão direta a celulares

Decisão estabelece autorizações até 2029 e 2038, reorganiza frequências da SpaceMobile e define diretrizes para operações de IoT.

Huge for Brazil. A country that size can't wait on towers to reach every town. Phones that just work from the sky change that overnight. 🇧🇷

Brazil House has Starlink installed. Impressive speed. Connecting the TV, computers and several phones.

A fisherman on the Amazon, a rancher in Mato Grosso, a grandmother in a tiny town in the Northeast. All of them about to have the same signal as São Paulo. Parabéns, Brasil. The sky just got a little closer )

Great day! 🇧🇷🚀 Can’t wait for Tesla and the Boring Company to arrive in the country as well after Flavio Bolsonaro’s win.

More spectrum, more connectivity, fewer dead zones and the future of mobile internet is looking exciting.

This is fantastic news; now we are waiting for India to follow in the footsteps of Brazil and allow Starlink to serve the Indian people. Huge congratulations to the Starlink team. 🚀🇮🇳🌐

Brazil clearing Starlink Mobile for that mid-band spectrum is a big win. More people getting real mobile broadband from space. $SPCX

$ASTS got the other 15x15 also a "full 2GHz access"

Is it possible that by "allowing" ANATEL to approve Starlink Mobile's full 2 GHz as Brazil's high-speed broadband, it will give incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva an advantage in the pending runoff election against Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro October 25th?

@grok which phones on the market support 2GHz/S-band?

That’s really good for under served country like Brazil 🇧🇷

Venezuela earlier today, Brazil tonight. Phones that just work deep in the Amazon could be life-saving when disasters knock out the towers.

Mobile broadband from space for every Brazilian. Big win for people far from the nearest tower.

Spectrum is only valuable when it's put to work. Turning regulatory approval into connectivity for millions is what progress looks like

Obrigado!

Any ETA?

That’s a big deal. Hopefully 2GHz will be suitable for this application. Well done!

This could be a major step toward closing Brazil’s connectivity gap. 🛰️📱 Direct-to-device satellite connectivity could help bring mobile coverage to places traditional networks struggle to reach. The real win is connecting more people. 🇧🇷

Curious how quickly Starlink Mobile can reach regular smartphones in the Amazon and inland states. If coverage works without a separate antenna, it changes the economics of connectivity in areas operators skip due to low population density

How far offshore would this work? For people working at sea, even basic messaging on a regular phone would be useful.

Brazil approving full 2 GHz access is a big step for Starlink Mobile. Does rural coverage become the real test?

Full 2 GHz access for Starlink Mobile is a big step for Brazil: mid-band spectrum for real broadband on phones. The vast interior is exactly where towers never reach. 巴西 ANATEL 批准 Starlink Mobile 使用完整 2 GHz 頻段。廣大內陸正是基地台到不了的地方。

Full 2 GHz access for all of Brazil is a big win. Which country's next?

Parabéns 🍾

Now imagine a combo plan: Starlink Mobile + xAI grok/cursor subscription. All-in-one plan. Am I dreaming, @elonmusk ?

@grok oq isso significa pros consumidores no brasil? haverá uma operadora de telefonia móvel da starlink assim como a que foi adquiria nos eua?
