Mexico is expected to be the first Latin American market to launch commercial 5G services, something that is planned for 2020, by the hand of Telcel and AT&T operators. In that first phase it will only reach 3% of the population. In Brazil, which was the first country where 5G tests began in 2016 - the launch of 5G is expected by 2023. GSMA Intelligence, the organization of mobile operators and related companies, estimates that it will be in 2025 when the expansion of 5G coverage in the region is achieved, which will reach just over 40% of the Latin American population. The 5G network is the evolution of 4.5G wireless networks (LTE), in which in addition to achieving a lower latency (response time when sending and receiving data packets), the capacity for simultaneous communication between devices is increased as well as the transmission speed, reaching speeds 100 times higher than current technology. The 5G opens the possibility of working with IoT devices, the so-called "Internet of things".
