Implementação da Estratégia de Telecomunicações – Lições Apreendidas de um Desafio Histórico Recente no Brasil./ Implementation of the Telecommunications Strategy – Lessons Learned from a Recent Historical Challenge in Brazil.

This study evaluates the strategy for managing projects for the implementation of cellular telephone networks (CMN), presenting the main points that have a strong influence on the planning related to this type of project and other networks, with 4G, 5G or similar networks. The analyses carried out demonstrate that, in the implementation of complex projects, their management is as important or more important than the technological issues involved in their completion. In order for the transition from 2.5G to 3G networks to occur, and later to 4G (and in the future to 5G), overcoming major technological and management challenges, telecommunications companies had to seek solutions to overcome several barriers, both in the technological aspect and in the project management aspect.
