Brazil: ANATEL conducts public consultation on the 6GHz radio equipment standard


On May 29, 2024, Brazil's telecommunications regulator, ANATEL, announced a public consultation on the proposed update to the technical standard for radiocommunication equipment, under public consultation number No. 29. The purpose of this public consultation is to gather feedback on the revision of equipment requirements for the 5925 MHz - 7125 MHz band.

The proposed changes include limiting the operating frequency from 5925MHz - 7125MHz to 5925 MHz - 6425 MHz and requiring remote firmware updates to comply with ANATEL regulations. Since there are already products on the market that use this technology, adjustments will need to be made to meet new regulatory standards, which can create challenges for manufacturers and businesses operating in Brazil.
