What Brisanet does

Brisanet Telecomunicações S.A. is a Brazilian regional telecommunications operator founded in 1998 in Pereiro, Ceará, with a mission of delivering internet connectivity to underserved Northeast interior markets. The company built a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network that now passes 7.21 million homes across 158-159 cities, complemented by 5G/4G mobile services spanning 335 municipalities and covering 16.27 million inhabitants, plus fixed wireless access (FWA) infrastructure for rural areas. Its technology stack rests on proprietary fiber-optic backbone, mobile services delivered through the Brisamóvel brand (using Vivo's national network with regional spectrum held by Brisanet), and fixed telephony under the Brisafixo brand.

The company makes money primarily through monthly recurring subscriptions: residential broadband at competitive price points (combo fiber+5G plans starting at R$99.90/month during promotions), mobile services spanning prepaid (R$0.89-1.39/day) and postpaid (R$29.99/month for 10GB), plus enterprise and government solutions including IP Transit, VPN, Videomonitoramento with facial recognition, telemedicine (Meeds integration), and Basic Health Unit digitization (Moderniza UBS). Streaming content from SKY+, Netflix, HBO Max, Paramount+, and Telecine is bundled into residential packages, and the Agility Telecom franchise network extends reach to ~1.7 million total broadband households.

Brisanet went public in 2021 concurrent with winning the 5G spectrum auction for the Northeast and Center-West regions, becoming Brazil's youngest mobile operator. In May 2026 it secured additional 700 MHz spectrum, committing R$2 billion (~US$400M) to rural mobile network expansion across 112 locations in 17 states. The company operates with a team of 9,000 people across a multi-channel distribution model spanning physical retail, telesales, WhatsApp sales, call centers, franchise locations, and self-service Brisacliente mobile apps. It has been recognized by Anatel as the most beloved regional operator in the Northeast.
