Four months after starting operations in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Sky Móvel has extended its reach to all corners of Brazil. Starting on August 25th, the operator began making chips available with access to 4G and 5G networks in all regions of the country.
This expansion is part of the strategy of Waiken ILW, the holding company controlling Sky, aiming to increase the company's presence beyond the subscription television segment. According to the company, approximately 60% of new contracts already include a mobile plan.
André Ribeiro, director of Sky Móvel, stated in a press release that this expansion represents a significant advance in creating a complete system of entertainment and connectivity. Currently, the group encompasses Sky (subscription TV), Sky+ (streaming), Zaaz (fiber broadband), and Sky Móvel (mobile).
Additionally, the company is preparing a satellite internet proposal, competing in a market currently dominated by Starlink and which is expected to grow with the arrival of Amazon Leo. Documents obtained by Tecnoblog indicate that the company already possesses the router approved by Anatel.
Sky Móvel offers four types of plans, with data packages ranging from 6 GB to 50 GB. All plans allow unused data to accumulate, and starting from the 15 GB option, calls and SMS messages are unlimited for any national carrier. Furthermore, these same plans allow the use of WhatsApp and Waze without deducting from the data allowance.
The service operates under the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) model, meaning the company does not own its own network nor is it responsible for antenna maintenance. As revealed by Tecnoblog in March, Sky's entry into the mobile sector was established through an agreement with Surf Telecom, which provides the infrastructure, while the mobile connection uses the TIM antenna network.
