Law No. 7500, enacted by the Paraguayan National Government, regulates the importation, sale, possession, and use of frequency and communication signal jammers.

These electronic devices are designed to generate intentional interference in radiocommunication services within a specific frequency range (8.3 kHz to 3,000 GHz), with the purpose of blocking or degrading the transmission and reception of radio signals.

The law establishes that the use of these jammers is strictly limited to state agencies and entities responsible for public order, internal security, and the administration of national penitentiaries. Furthermore, their installation and operation require prior approval from the National Telecommunications Commission.

WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?

The direct impact is on state agencies, manufacturers and importers, and the telecommunications sector.

CONCLUSION:

Law No. 7500 seeks to guarantee the controlled use of jammers to protect public safety and prevent harmful interference in communications. Its implementation strengthens state control over a strategic resource, but also imposes strict restrictions that could create challenges in compliance and oversight.
