Argentina's ENACOM Resolution No. 1132/2023
Argentina's ENACOM has published Resolution No. 1132/2023 with important implications for technology regulations in the country.
-
Recognition of Wi-Fi 6E: The resolution recognizes the Wi-Fi 6E technology in the 5.925 - 7.125 MHz band. This means that equipment with Wi-Fi 6E interfaces can now be officially certified for use in Argentina. Wi-Fi 6E is an extended version of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) that operates in the 6 GHz frequency band.
-
Antenna Gain Requirement: Device manufacturers and importers are now required to provide information regarding the antenna gain for each device as part of the technical specifications. This information is essential for regulatory and certification purposes.
-
Modular Certification Exemption: The requirement to specify antenna gain is exempted for devices that undergo modular certification. Modular certification typically involves certifying individual components or modules of a device separately, and the antenna specifications may be covered under this process.
These changes reflect the evolving technology landscape and aim to ensure that wireless devices comply with regulatory standards and specifications in Argentina.
It's important to note that regulatory changes like these are designed to maintain efficient and safe use of wireless technologies while keeping pace with advancements in the industry. This can have an impact on manufacturers, importers, and consumers who use these devices in the country.
