Overview

On February 16, 2022, ANATEL published Act 2271, outlining the new technical requirements for signal boosters used in cellular networks.

What is a Signal Booster?

A signal booster is a device designed to expand the coverage area of telecommunications signals, addressing shadow areas or regions with low signal strength.

Potential for Interference

When improperly installed, operated, or if the equipment lacks characteristics to prevent harmful interference, signal boosters may cause significant interference in frequency bands assigned to Personal Mobile Service providers and other services.

Testing Requirements

The testing requirements will adhere to FCC rules, referencing the following directives:

1. Code of Federal Regulations – 47 CFR §20.21 – Signal boosters.

2. Code of Federal Regulations – 47 CFR §22.355 – Frequency tolerance.

3. FCC KDB 935210 D04 – Provider Specific Booster Measurements Guidance v02 (SEI n.º 2603551).
