On May 21, 2025, the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) of Egypt notified authorized laboratories of the new mandatory requirements for Arabic language specifications, which read:

• The Arabic language instructions required for public-facing products (e.g., mobile phones, home routers, etc.) should include the name and contact information of the entity being translated, and must be an ISO 17100 accredited entity or an institution accredited by an Arab government organization.
• NTRA also announced that products that are ready to ship but do not meet the new requirements will be exempted from the requirement as the manufacturer was not previously aware of the requirement, but will require a letter of commitment from the manufacturer stating that it is aware of the new requirement and will meet it in future shipments.

On May 19, 2025, India's Ministry of Telecommunications (DoT) released the draft Rules for the Use of Low Power and Ultra-Low Power Radio Access Systems (including Wireless LANs) in the Low 6 GHz Band 2025. The rule applies to the band 5925-6425 MHz. The maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is 1 W for low-power indoor (LPI) devices and 25 mW for ultra-low-power outdoor (VLP) devices.

On April 30, 2025, the Argentine National Communications Authority (ENACOM) redefined the mobile satellite spectrum through Resolution No. 640/2025 to reduce interference to personal communication services (PCS). This change directly affects telecommunications and satellite operators operating within the Argentine national network. The redefined spectrum is:

• 1990-2025 MHz for ground-to-space transmission;
• 2170-2200 MHz is used for air-to-ground transmission.

On April 25, 2025, the National Radio Research Agency (RRA) of the Republic of Korea officially announced the partial revision of the Technical Standards for Simple Radio Stations, Space Stations, Earth Stations, Radio Detection Equipment and Other Service Radio Equipment No. 2025. Important revisions have been made to the technical standards and specifications for radio equipment for low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications earth stations. The revision, which came into effect from the date of promulgation, marks a key step in South Korea's technological standardization process in the field of satellite communications, aiming to seize the strategic high ground of air-space-ground integrated communication in the 6G era.

According to the new regulations, RRA has added a new category of "radio equipment for LEO satellite communication earth stations" in Appendix 1 of the Conformity Assessment Bulletin, and updated the format symbol identification 67 of this type of equipment in Appendix 7. The adjustment is mainly aimed at low-orbit satellite communication equipment operating in the frequency band from 11 GHz to 14 GHz, and clarifies the technical requirements for its occupied bandwidth, frequency tolerance and anti-interference to ensure the efficient use of spectrum resources and the safety of the electromagnetic environment.

On 25 April 2025, Bermuda's Regulatory Authority (RA) announced that from 14 February 2025, radio equipment operating only on Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi frequencies will no longer require a separate application for type approval. Manufacturers and importers must still ensure that these devices comply with the technical and regulatory standards set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).

On April 23, 2025, the National Telecommunications Commission of Paraguay (CONATEL) issued Resolution No. 1035/2025 authorizing the frequency band 5925-6425 MHz for low-power wireless access systems. The 6 GHz subband 6425-7125 MHz should be disabled for all Wi-Fi 6E devices in Paraguay. Manufacturers and importers interested in adding Wi-Fi 6E capabilities to their approved product certificates can request partial modifications to their existing certificates.

In addition, the technical standard NTC-RF-5925:2025 was released at the same time, which allows the use of ultra-low power mode (VLP) outdoors in addition to low-power mode (LPI) indoors. It is also required that the label should include the following description: "In Paraguay, this equipment must be configured to operate in accordance with the restrictions specified in the National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL) technical standard NTC-RF-5925:2025. ”

After the first round of public consultation of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT) on Non-terrestrial Networks (NTNs) on 1 October 2024, TATT has launched the second round of public consultation on the "Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) Spectrum Planning". This plan outlines how to allocate and regulate the 2 GHz band spectrum for NTN operators (such as satellites and aerial platforms) to extend telecommunications coverage to remote or aerial areas. Additionally, the plan clarifies the licensing procedures and technical conditions to ensure coexistence with existing terrestrial mobile networks.
