ANATEL Mandates IPv6 Compliance for Certified WWAN Modules in Host Devices

Published October 3, 2018/Brazil

Regulatory Update on IPv6 Compliance

On October 3rd, ANATEL determined that host devices using Certified WWAN modules will need to comply with IPv6 testing, specifically following the standard IPv6 RFC 2460, in addition to EMC and safety requirements. The 3GPP or ETSI items will not require testing.

The tests will be conducted to ensure that the functionality of IPv6 remains consistent when the WWAN module is integrated into the host device.

Declaration letters from manufacturers will no longer be accepted unless they can demonstrate that the host product’s IPv6 behavior is derived from the module.
