Brazil’s telecommunications regulatory authority, Anatel, has announced a public consultation regarding proposed updates to technical standards for radio communication equipment. The consultation, outlined in Public Consultation No. 29, aims to gather feedback on the revision of requirements for equipment operating in the 5.925 MHz to 7.125 MHz frequency band.
The proposed changes include limiting operational frequency to 5.925 MHz to 6.425 MHz and mandating remote firmware update capabilities for compliance with Anatel regulations. Considering Brazil’s prominent role in technology adoption within the region. With products already in the market utilizing this technology, the need for adjustments to meet new regulatory standards can pose challenges for both suppliers and businesses operating in Brazil.
This update affects various products, including telecom/terminal equipment, data networking equipment, infrastructure equipment, and consumer electronics. To ensure market access compliance, manufacturers and importers are advised to review the proposed changes and provide feedback during the 70-day public consultation period via the portal https://apps.anatel.gov.br/ParticipaAnatel/Home.aspx
Additionally, companies currently operating in or intending to enter the Brazilian market should prepare for potential adjustments to their product documentation and certification processes to align with the updated requirements outlined by Anatel.
