Despite the difficult few years during the global Covid-19 pandemic, and ongoing global economic difficulties, the telecommunications sector in Central America is projected to continue with steady growth. Similarly, to other developing regions in the world, this overall increase in investment into telecom infrastructure is driven by a significant demand for realisable and affordable communication services by local populations and businesses. Governments in the region are eyeing 5G as an opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to economic development as well as providing necessary services to remote and underserved regions.

The fifth generation of mobile networks, the 5G, is set to revolutionise the way we access information, communicate, work and live. With its faster speeds, lower latency, and increased capacity, 5G will enable new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous vehicles, and virtual reality. Chile, one of the countries in Latin America that has been quick to adopt 5G technology, is actively working on the deployment of 5G networks and investing heavily in the infrastructure and equipment needed to support it. This article will explore the current state of 5G in Chile, including the challenges and opportunities it presents.

Brazil, the biggest market in Latin America, already has a well-developed towerco market with 90% of sites owned by towercos. Over the last few years, it has been through a phase of consolidation driven by larger multinational towercos seeking to increase their market share through strategic acquisitions and private equity backed towercos exiting their investments. Similarly, on the telecom carrier front, Brazil's four mobile operators, Vivo (Telefónica), Claro (América Móvil), TIM, and Oi are being reduced to three, with the exit of Oi following financial difficulties. With the initial 5G deployment projects already well under way in the country, TowerXchange sums up the recent developments and the opportunities this exciting market offers.
