RIO - The stadiums of the World Cup may have problems and telecommunications arenas of São Paulo and Curitiba are the focus of concern , due to delays in projects and lack of commercial agreements for equipment installation , according to industry experts .
According to the executive director of Sinditelebrasil , union of the mobile operators , Eduardo Levy , there is risk of congestion in communication in stadiums at certain times due to high demand for data.
The Arena Corinthians , in Sao Paulo , and Arena da Baixada in Curitiba ( PR ) , are the most vulnerable , according to Levy . The works of the two stages are delayed, which may affect the installation of antennas and communications equipment .
" They are the ones that concern us most . We have not had technical and commercial ( appropriate ) conditions, "said Levy told Reuters.
Besides the delay in the works , the contract negotiations between operators and consortia that manage both stages are stalled for lack of agreement on price, said Celso Birraque , director of Claro network access . But he ruled out any chance of telecommunications blackout .
" Negotiations with Curitiba and Sao Paulo are tough ," said Birraque .
According to Levy , the utilities of these stages would be charging rent to five times greater than the agreed to other arenas in the World .
Sought , the Sport Club Corinthians Paulista , which manages the Arena Corinthians , said that operators are who are paying the arenas which have already negotiated with five times lower than that of other rentals in general values .
Representatives of Atletico Paranaense , who manages the Arena da Baixada , were not immediately available for comment subject.
It is expected that the use of voice in stadiums increase eight times on average during the matches of the World , while the data usage to rise 18 times in comparison with the average, according to the course .
The expectation of course is that the enhancement of the telecommunications system of the stages to be completed in early April . Of the 12 stadiums , six have already extended systems since the Confederations Cup , and in some cases additional adjustments are necessary , Birraque said .
delay
Concern about the stages of São Paulo and Curitiba grows due to the time required for assembly and test equipment . Experts say it takes about 60 days for the installation of antennas and another 60 for testing.
" At Maracanã we could do in 47 days last year , but working day, night , Saturday and Sunday , with adjustments being made in the middle of the Confederations Cup . It is not recommended to do this , because the risk is high ", said Levy .
The estimated Sinditelebrasil is that carriers together are investing at least $ 200 million in telecommunications infrastructure of the 12 arenas Cup .
Each stadium will have 300-400 antennas , including microantenas . According Birraque , of course , these devices will continue after the World Cup arenas , with renewal of the lease with concessionaires stadiums .
But the entity provides telecommunications issues even in ready stadiums and in which no commercial issues between operators and concessionaires .
" During the Confederations Cup , at peak times as before the teams enter the field at the time of a goal and the range , there is great demand for data ," he said . " There will be congestion ( ... ) If everyone solve publish picture at the same time , there is no system or spectrum that will endure " .
Experts say that even during the Olympic Games in London there were problems in telecommunications networks stadiums . " It's not going to make 'video streaming' ( watch videos on the internet ) , but will give to ' upload' photos ," said Eduardo Tude , president of consultancy Teleco .
