Anatel Revises Satellite Usage Requirements in Brazil
Anatel has revised the technical and operational requirements for satellite usage in Brazil under Law No. 11,190, effective July 30th, 2024. This update introduces increased flexibility for channeling associated with the Private Limited Service (SLP) via satellite infrastructure, supporting various scientific applications such as Earth observation, meteorology, space operations, and research.
The revised law simplifies authorization processes for scientific satellite applications, advancing scientific and technological research within Brazil. Specifically, the update incorporates a new provision into Section 4.5 of the Technical and Operational Requirements for Satellite Communications Systems, as established by Law No. 9,523 of October 27th, 2021. The new wording allows for the use of radio frequency bands assigned to satellite services to be adapted for compatible telecommunications services, providing the authorized frequency limits are respected.
The law is effective immediately upon its publication in the Official Gazette, with an official start date of July 30th.
