Published /Brazil

ANATEL Act 1630 Overview

On March 11, 2021, ANATEL published Act 1630, which repeals the previous Act 955.

Key Changes

The main changes include:

  • Changing the application frequency range from 300 MHz to 6 GHz to 4 MHz at 6 GHz, increasing the range of products that will require SAR testing.
  • Inclusion of tests for the Time-Period Averaged (TAS) condition.

What is TAS?

TAS refers to the average SAR value within a specific time interval, during which the instantaneous transmission power is controlled in real-time by a TAS algorithm incorporated into the chipset or TSC's modem. It is also known as Device-Based Time-Averaging SAR.
