Telecomunicações Brasileiras S.A. (Telebras) is a strategic provider of telecommunications infrastructure solutions in Brazil for communication between government agencies, private companies and non-governmental organizations. It acts as an agent of national development, fostering a more democratic access to information. Its 22,000 kilometers of backbone form a modern terrestrial network with the latest technology. It reaches the remotest places, reducing the cost of connection, promoting technological innovation, as well as social and digital inclusion. Furthermore, after the successful launch of its Geostationary Defense and Strategic Communications Satellite, the SGDC, in May 2017, Telebras will soon count on its high capacity in the Ka band to expand the broadband offer to the most remote areas in Brazil with an Internet of quality. The SGDC is a pivotal state-run project with two main objectives: to provide secure communications for national defense system and strategic communications within the Government and to promote social and economic development in the country by ensuring connectivity to all Brazilians through massive broadband. It is the first Brazilian satellite dedicated to high-speed and quality data transmission in the Ka band, covering the entire national territory and the Blue Amazon.
