Overview

Through Norm 36/2019, the National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL) has modified the National Plan for the Attribution of Frequencies in Paraguay and determined frequency bands for mobile systems.

Frequency Bands

The following bands have been designated for mobile services:

• 700 MHz
• 800 MHz
• 900 MHz
• 1700-2100 MHz
• 1900 MHz
• 1910-1930 MHz
• 3500 MHz

One of the most significant modifications to the National Plan for the Attribution of Frequencies (PNAF) includes the incorporation of the PRG-71 note, which addresses the use of the 3500 MHz bands for mobile services within the frequency range of 3400-3600 MHz.

Impact on Fixed Systems

Fixed systems currently utilizing this band will need to cease operations to facilitate the implementation of mobile cellular telephone systems, Internet access systems, and data transmission systems.

Effective Date

Norm 36/2019 became effective on January 31, 2019.
