On May 22, 2025, the National Authority for Public Services of the Republic of Panama issued a formal resolution aimed at rectifying an error in Annex 3 of the National Frequency Allocation Plan (PNAF). This correction addresses a discrepancy introduced in a previous resolution, specifically within Article Eight, where the outdated version of Annex 3 was mistakenly retained. As a result, the 5.925 to 7.125 MHz frequency range was incorrectly allocated for unlicensed device operation—contrary to the version approved during Public Consultation No. 011-2024.

The resolution reinforces regulatory accuracy and ensures alignment with the outcomes of the public consultation process. It is grounded in a robust legal framework, drawing authority from the Judicial Code of the Republic of Panama, relevant national laws, and executive decrees. These legal provisions validate the correction and uphold the mandate of the General Administrator, whose endorsement underscores the resolution’s legitimacy and enforceability.

WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?

The direct impact is on telecommunications operators, equipment manufacturers, technicians responsible for the implementation and maintenance of wireless infrastructure, and end users.

CONCLUSION:

The correction to the standard is essential to ensure the integrity and quality of telecommunications services in the country.
