Introduction

On November 7th, ENACOM published the draft law for the shared use of 470 MHz to 698 MHz frequency bands as a secondary title for TIC services.

Key Provisions

The draft law establishes the shared use of the 470 MHz to 698 MHz bands without requiring authorization for devices with built-in geolocation capability. These devices are classified into two categories:

• Base devices
• Terminal devices

Technical Parameters

The technical and operational parameters and conditions for the use of sharing devices include:

• Maximum power
• Antenna height
• Ground height

Among other considerations, the operational mode must be in fixed locations deployed in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint modalities. The deployment of Shared Use Devices in portable or mobile modes is not permitted.

Ongoing Review

Currently, the draft law is under review by ENACOM’s technical department.
