Satellite Internet in Brazil
South America · Population: 216M · Internet penetration: 81%
Market Overview
Brazil is Latin America's largest satellite internet market. The Amazon rainforest and vast rural interior create massive connectivity gaps. Starlink has received Anatel authorization and is actively serving remote communities, including indigenous territories and river communities in the Amazon basin.
Regulatory Environment
Anatel regulates telecommunications. Starlink received authorization in 2022. China's Qianfan constellation received Anatel authorization for 324 satellites in February 2026.
Rural Coverage Gap
Over 36 million Brazilians lack internet access entirely. The Amazon region, northeastern sertao, and rural pantanal are the most disconnected areas. Satellite is often the only feasible technology for these regions.
