Anatel Eases Regulatory Restrictions for IoT and M2M Applications

The Directing Council of the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) approved, this Thursday (10/29), the reduction of regulatory barriers to the expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications. With this decision, services provided by IoT devices will have a lower tax burden than telecommunications.

As for the security of M2M and IoT applications, the new Regulation will establish general principles. The specifics of these products must be addressed when defining technical requirements, which will still be subject to public consultation.

In addition, Anatel will include practical examples of telecommunication and Value Added Services for the exploration of M2M and IoT in an orientation booklet on IoT and M2M.
