History

TIM Ultrafibra is launched in more than 12 cities in Santa Catarina, covering more than 540,000 homes in the region.

We were the first and only operator in Latin America to offer an Apple One subscription.

We offer a “test drive” of our services, with free 30GB packages and other benefits for 30 days to test the largest 5G coverage in Brazil.

We launched 5G in July, starting with the federal capital, Brasília. We then started operating with the new technology in São Paulo, Curitiba and Rio de Janeiro.

We now have 5G coverage in all 27 of the country’s capitals.

We acquired the 4G and 5G frequencies at 2.3 Ghz, 3.5 Ghz and 26 Ghz in an auction held by Anatel.
