South & Central America 2G & 3G Switch Off Market Overview
The South & Central America 2G & 3G switch off market is segmented into Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South & Central America. According to the GSM Association, uptake of 4G in the region has more than doubled in between 2015-2020, with more than 410 million connections in 2021. This growth is projected to continue till 2024 as consumers increasingly transfer to 5G plans. In June 2022, seven countries in the region launched commercial 5G services. The modern adoption rate of 5G services is ~1% of total 5G connections, but this is expected to reach 11% by 2025. Several regional network operators are switching off the 2G and 3G networks to re-purpose the spectrum and provide 4G. For instance, as of November 2022, Tigo confirmed that it switched off its 2G network in Colombia, taking ~2,000 1900 MHz sites offline and freeing up the spectrum, which will be re-purposed and used for its 4G network.
As of March 2022, Claro also announced the shutting down of its 2G network in Colombia, following in Tigo's footsteps. Further, Movistar plans to do the same in Chile in the second half of 2023, while Telecom will shut down 3G in Argentina. The mass implementation of 4G and the entry of 5G are beginning to influence these decisions.
