Transferência de tecnologia do 5G na cadeia de suprimentos: proposta de um roadmap para implantação no setor do agronegócio

Abstract

The expansion of digital connectivity in rural areas represents a strategic challenge for Brazilian agribusiness, especially in municipalities with low population density and limited infrastructure, such as Araguatins, located in the far north of the state of Tocantins. Although Brazil has made progress in internet coverage in urban areas, data from CETIC.br (2021) and ITU (2020) reveal a significant gap in rural zones, directly affecting the use of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) embedded in agricultural machinery. In light of this scenario, this study aims to develop a process implementation list for 5G technology as a tool for optimizing the agribusiness supply chain in the municipality of Araguatins (TO). To achieve this goal, an exploratory research was carried out using technical and scientific material to better understand the topic addressed in this dissertation, as well as the current Brazilian panorama related to the subject. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was also conducted, using the Methodi Ordinatio methodology as a source for data collection and content analysis. The results of the SLR show that the lack of connectivity coverage in remote rural areas is a globally recognized issue and that there is an urban-rural gap to be addressed in many countries, not only to support agriculture but also to provide all the opportunities enabled through internet connectivity. The expected outcome is to offer a structured and regionally adaptable model that can contribute to advancing digital transformation in rural areas and reducing connectivity inequalities in Araguatins (TO).
