𝗣𝗹𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝘃𝘀. 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗳 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺: 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 - 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘀 - 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝟳𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 The case between the mobile virtual network enabler (#MVNE) Plintron and the Brazilian aggregator (#MVNA) and enabler (MVNE), Surf Telecom goes into yet another round. Following an injunction last week from the Federal Court, ordering Brazil's telecom regulator Anatel to grant consent for the minority shareholder Plintron to take control of Surf Telecom, Anatel has decided to file an appeal. Anatel's reason for denying Plintron to take control of Surf are risks to business continuity and that ultimately the consumer will be harmed. You can read much more about Surf vs. Plintron here: https://lnkd.in/gnYcNQrB In its appeal, Anatel presents two arguments. Firstly, it recalls that Plintron shut down the platform in 2020, affecting Surf's #MVNO partners and subscribers, including the Post office MVNO. “For eleven days, an institution of the greatest importance for Brazil, the Post Office, had restrictions on the services provided. In addition thousands of consumers were harmed at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic," writes the prosecutor in the appeal. The agency justifies its refusal to agree to change control of Surf with the argument that this would put Brazilian consumers at risk. The second argument is that the Federal Regional Court can't force it to grant consent, and that this would represent an invasion of jurisdiction. “It is up to the Judiciary to control administrative acts in terms of legality (…) In the case at hand, however, an invasion of the powers of the Regulatory Agency is claimed, as the Judiciary would be directly interfering in regulation which is the responsibility of Anatel, under the terms of the Federal Constitution”. It is worth noticing that the case between Plintron Holdings, based in Singapore, and the Brazilian company Maresias Participações (controlling company of Surf) has been in litigation for seven years, with decisions going left and right. It now seems that the next step could be the Supreme Federal Court. Surf has more than 50 MVNO partners operating in Brazil and has just launched its own MVNO service in the U.S last week. https://lnkd.in/gGZMcMZb

Court overturns injunction obtained by Plintron against the MVNA/MVNE Surf - to prevent "irreparable damage" until a definitive decision is made The Sao Paulo Court of Justice has suspended the effects of the arbitration award that allowed the Singaporean company Plintron to take control of the Brazilian mobile virtual network aggregator (#MVNA) and enabler (#MVNE) Surf Telecom, after an appeal by SURF Telecom. To justify the decision, the judge cited "the risk of irreparable damage resulting from the losses that would be caused, especially given the reported risk of transfer of corporate control of the appellant Surf, with an impact on consumers and the national telecommunications system". The judgment, however, is not definitive. It seeks to avoid damages until the case has its merits analyzed by the Court. The suspension of the arbitration award is valid until the admissibility examination of the claim or until its judgment, in case the appeal is admitted. Plintron is also required to present counter arguments to the special appeal filed by Surf. In addition, Surf Telecom is seeking the reversal of the arbitration decision that gave Plintron rights over the company. The operator argues that the result of the arbitration went beyond the limits of what could be decided there, in particular, by increasing the number of shares in the company and diluting one of the third-party shareholders. The measure would not be authorized by the Investment Agreement and diluted the shareholding of Surf Group Holdings Limited (SGHL). The failure to recognize SGHL as an independent party, is also considered as a potential offense. https://lnkd.in/gUmGZtER

The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) is a central player in the fight against piracy in Brazil, especially in situations related to telecommunications. In this regard, Anatel has organized several initiatives to identify and prevent the operation of illegal TV Boxes. A TV Box is a device that when added to the television allows online content to be accessed, i.e., it converts a normal television into a smart TV. Anatel analyzes and approves TV Box in order to guarantee the safety of users and telecommunications, which means that these devices must have the Anatel's approval to be sold in Brazil. But Anatel has identified that there are several illegal Tv Box devices in Brazil. Hence in 2023 Anatel adopted policies to prevent the marketing of such devices, including those listed below: ✅ Creation of a Plan to Combat the Use of Clandestine Pay-TV Decoders (Plano de Combate ao Uso de Decodificadores Clandestinos de TV por Assinatura) to block the use of illegal TV Boxes; ✅ Publication of a list of approved TV Boxes for easy access by the population; ✅ Inauguration of the Anti-Piracy Laboratory specializing in the analysis of illegal Tv Boxes. These actions allowed 3,900 illicit Tv Boxes to be taken down in 2023 as a result of the 52 blocking operations carried out by Anatel. As a result of the experiences gathered throughout the year, Anatel has improved its technical measures and is now able to block the three main technologies used in illegal Tv Box. The data shows the success of Anatel's initiative, which is acting in an exemplary way to fight against piracy in the telecommunications. The expectation is that the measures against the illegal TV Box will be even more successful in 2024, given the positive experiences of the previous year. https://lnkd.in/dzt44aY8 #Anatel #telecommunications #TVBox #PiracyCombat #Piracy #CorporateLove #CortezLaw

Brazilian M2M MVNO Eseye, eyes Latin America expansion in 2025 The mobile virtual network operator (#MVNO) Eseye, wants to expand from Brazil to other Latin American countries in mid-2025. The #M2M #IoT MVNO has been focused on growing its business in the Brazilian market since 2016 but is now eyeing the expansion into other markets, as explained by Ana Carolina Bussab, general director of the company in Brazil to Mobiletime. “We have constant growth of 9% to 20% per year. So, we want to increase this growth, see what is possible and feasible within the Brazilian reality and then, at a comfortable level, dedicate ourselves with time and technology to expand to Latin America”. Founded in 2007 in the United Kingdom, Eseye offers connectivity services for companies that need connection for M2M and IoT operations with multiple operators. In Brazil, Eseye is an accredited MVNO and partner of the mobile virtual network aggregator (#MVNA) and enabler (#MVNE) Surf Telecom. Its local clients are utilities such as Equatorial, CPFL and Comgás, as well as supply chain, vehicle and cargo tracking companies. In total, the company has 700,000 active devices, but this number can vary up or down, due to the amount of "bait loads" (equipment disguised within the load that is used once and then discarded). The MVNO's international portfolio is made up of Amazon, Shell Recharge (connected station pumps), Sony, Walmart and Bosch, among others. https://lnkd.in/gvERvTh2

Vero to begin its MVNO expansion into 300 cities The Brazilian mobile virtual network operator (#MVNO) and broadband telecommunications provider #Vero, is beginning the expansion of its mobile telephony service to 126 new cities, this week. With this move, Vero will operate its services in 300 municipalities where it also provides broadband. The MVNO is operating via TIM's network – which already enabled Americanet's MVNO, before its merger with Vero last year. Vero's executive director of sales and marketing, José Carlos Rocha, told TELETIME that expanding its operations in the segment was one of the group's goals in the midst of the business merger. "This block of 126 cities is a major launch and the first big step towards continuing this process," he said. Vero's mobile service currently has around 185,000 subscribers, the vast majority of whom are in the state of São Paulo. As of June it had 1.34 million broadband subscribers. "We have 420 cities operating with the broadband network. In this sense, we expect to mature the customer experience and aim to have the [mobile] service in all the cities where we operate in the medium term ," said the director. The commitment to include mobile telephony is based on its "one stop shop" concept. In this concept, Vero intends to position itself as a "hub" capable of bringing together several services from a single provider, explained José Carlos Rocha. The operator has followed the same strategy by integrating different streaming platforms into its broadband plans. Another move that will be implemented gradually in mobile is the inclusion of 5G coverage in plans, as well as the arrival of services in state capitals (MVNO is now available in Florianópolis, says Rocha). The offer is also considered suitable for corporate use, including in the M2M market. https://lnkd.in/gMFagqgB

BRAZIL   BRAZIL'S ACT NO 2436 UPDATE: MANDATORY CYBERSECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR CUSTOMER PREMISES EQUIPMENT (CPE) ANATEL has released Letter No. 100/2024/ORCN/SOR-ANATEL – Clarification on the scope of cybersecurity requirements for CPE equipment. This letter is confirmation from ANATEL that equipment intended exclusively for corporate use, installed and configured by a team with specialized technical knowledge, is not applicable to the to the cybersecurity testing. Official letter information: Anatel’s Certification and Numbering Management (ORCN) has received questions, both from industry representatives and Designated Certification Bodies (OCDs), about the applicability of the minimum mandatory cybersecurity requirements for assessing the conformity of CPE (Customer Premises equipment) approved by Act No. 2436 on devices classified as access points intended for exclusive corporate use. According to the scope contained in item 1.1 of the Annex to Act No. 2436/2023, requirements are applicable to CPE equipment for use by the general public to connect subscribers to the Internet service provider’s network. Therefore based on the requirements, the general public is understood as any person who uses and/or has access to the product and who does not have specialized technical knowledge about the telecommunications equipment and who is only interested in using its functionalities and consuming the telecommunications services. It is understood that equipment intended exclusively for corporate use is installed and configured by a team with specialized technical knowledge. Additionally, such equipment operates on corporate networks that have different layers of security and, for this reason, normally do not connect directly to the Internet service provider’s network. This letter released by ORCN clarifies to those interested in certifying this type of product that the requirements approved by Act No. 2436/2023 are not applicable to CPE equipment intended exclusively for corporate use.

🔸 SDN Transport Slicing 🔸 Multi-vendor network management – where #SDN controllers from one group of vendors manage routers from another – has been tested at the annual EANTC AG interoperability events for several years. A group of steadily engaged vendors has kept improving and extending the multi-vendor interoperability of this SDN management topic. This year, Ciena, Cisco, Ericsson, Huawei, Juniper Networks, and Keysight Technologies have successfully tested multi-vendor SDN provisioning of network slices. Slices are well-known as a #5G topic; it is often forgotten that slicing is not only a radio technology challenge. Sliced traffic with application-specific quality requirements must be grouped (“colored”) and forwarded across the network accordingly. There are multiple standardized solutions to configure colored traffic paths in a Segment Routing network; they all have in common that they are complex to configure. Therefore, it is crucial to benefit from automated provisioning even if the underlying transport network has components from multiple vendors; this is what Sujay Murthy from #Cisco and Reza Rokui from #Ciena explain in this video. 📽 Watch the full video on our YouTube channel: ➡ https://lnkd.in/e4nD3tpa 📣Keep an eye out for our publications; more videos are coming next week❗ #mplswc24agenda #SDN #5G #NetworkInnovation #InteropTesting #EANTC #MPLSSDN #Ciena #Cisco #Ericson #Huawei #Juniper #Keysight

💡 2G and 3G Shutdown Update in #Brazil 💡 📗Brazil's National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) has updated its certification requirements for mobile phones and access terminal stations. Starting 06 April 2025, only devices with at least 4G technology will be eligible for certification. 📗The aim is to ensure that devices sold in Brazil are compatible with modern networks, preventing them from becoming obsolete when 2G and 3G networks are eventually phased out. 📗 Currently, 2G and 3G networks are responsible for 8% and 7% of all mobile accesses in Brazil, respectively. However, the Brazilian IoT/M2M market has had consistent growth since 2012, and it is now the main issue in Brazil. 📗 Issues of device compatibility between old and new networks are a challenge. Another issue is the speed at which users will update their devices. In addition, some essential services, such as alarm systems, vehicle tracking, and cargo monitoring, still depend on 2G/3G networks which need to be upgraded to #4G and #5G. #Conclusion Some countries are struggling with #2G and #3G shutdowns due to the M2M/IoT devices plus the old device compatibility. It's recommended to take some #phaseout steps in a solid timeline and cooperate with the different industries and companies. #2G #3G #Phaseout #Brazil
