Published /Brazil

Overview

On November 29th, 2021, ANATEL published Acts 10.002 and 10.003, which introduce testing requirements for the evaluation of 5G Mobile Stations in the FR2 frequency range. Following the publication of these Acts, approval for the frequency range of 26 GHz for 5G is now possible. The testing requirements are based on ETSI TS 138 521-3 V16.6.0 (2021-01).

Please note that the testing requirements for FR1 were published in June 2020.

5G Frequency Auction

ANATEL recently held an auction for frequency bands designated for 5G in Brazil, which includes the 26 GHz band. This frequency is recognized for its exceptional data transmission capacity, making it ideal for covering specific areas and enhancing new technologies that will benefit from 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT).

In addition, Act 10.002 introduces testing for the NB2 (IoT cellular network) technology, while previously ANATEL only required tests for NB1.
