Conexis Brasil Digital

What Conexis Brasil Digital does

Conexis Brasil Digital is the national trade union (Sindicato Nacional das Empresas de Telefonia e de Serviço Móvel, Celular e Pessoal) representing Brazilian telecommunications and connectivity companies. Organized in 2003 and rebranded from SindiTelebrasil to Conexis Brasil Digital in 2020 to align with Brazil's digital-transformation agenda, the association is headquartered in Brasília and operates as a private non-profit owned by its five member carriers: Algar, Claro, Sercomtel, TIM, and Vivo. Its statutory role is to serve as the unified voice of the Brazilian telecom sector before Anatel, Congress, and the federal executive, and to coordinate collective action on industry priorities such as 5G rollout, spectrum allocation, LGPD compliance, taxation reform, and municipal antenna-deployment barriers.

Conexis does not sell a software product or generate product revenue. Instead, it delivers a portfolio of association services funded by member dues and joint projects: policy advocacy and legislative positioning (Posicionamentos, Agenda Legislativa, Estudos), industry self-regulation (the LGPD Código de Boas Práticas de Proteção de Dados for telecom), consumer-protection campaigns (#FiqueEsperto anti-fraud, Não Me Perturbe telemarketing-blocking registry with 11M+ registered lines), awareness initiatives (Conecte 5G educational portal), the annual Painel Telebrasil industry summit, and data/research assets (Mapa de Antenas interactive coverage tool, Estatísticas do Setor statistics platform, Ranking das Cidades Amigas do 5G, Ranking de Serviços de Cidades Inteligentes). Go-to-market is B2B only: outputs are delivered to and through the five member carriers and address the Brazilian population only as an indirect end beneficiary of connectivity initiatives. Pricing is membership-based and not publicly disclosed.

The economics Conexis reports publicly - R$34.6B invested by the sector in 2024, R$36.3B projected for 2025, R$65B in taxes collected in 2019, R$1.32 trillion projected 5G economic impact through 2035, 107.9k antennas, and 52M 5G access lines - describe the scale of its underlying member industry, not Conexis's own P&L. The organization explicitly does not disclose its own revenue, has 11-50 staff, and is governed by a Diretoria Estatutária (up to 9 members, two-year terms) plus an Executive Board led by President-Executive Marcos Ferrari.

Broad incumbents

• 5G Americas: Industry trade organization focused on 5G and LTE advancement across the Americas. Comparable in 5G-focused advocacy role, though broader in scope (includes vendors and academia alongside operators).
• Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA): US-based trade association representing telecommunications and information technology companies. Comparable as a sector trade body, though broader in membership than just mobile operators.

Direct peers

• GSMA: Global mobile industry organization representing mobile operators worldwide. Directly comparable as a telecom sector trade association advocating for industry interests, though operating at a global rather than national scope.
• AHCIET (Asociación Iberoamericana de Centros de Investigación y Empresas de Telecomunicaciones): Ibero-American telecom industry association. Closest regional peer given shared Latin American/Iberian cultural and regulatory context and a comparable telecom-sector representation role.
• Telebrasil: Historic Brazilian telecom sector association, the direct predecessor identity to Conexis Brasil Digital (which absorbed SindiTelebrasil). Direct peer in country, scope, and mission.
• CTIA: US wireless industry trade association representing mobile network operators. Comparable as a national telecom sector advocacy body with similar spectrum, infrastructure, and policy mandate.
• ETNO (European Telecommunications Network Operators' Association): European telecom operators' association representing the sector to EU institutions. Directly comparable in function—policy advocacy, regulatory coordination, and member representation—though serving European rather than Brazilian operators.

Regional players

• GSMA Latin America: GSMA's Latin America arm operating as a regional telecom industry body across multiple countries. Comparable advocacy function at a multi-country regional level rather than a single national jurisdiction.
