Overview
On February 6, 2023, ANATEL passed Resolution No. 760, which governs the use of Drone/Signal Jammer (SJ) in Brazil. The primary purpose of this regulation is to establish the rules and procedures for managing Drone/Signal Jammer, which are devices that restrict the use of specific radio frequencies or frequency bands for public interest reasons.
Prohibition and Exceptions
The possession, use, and sale of Drone/Signal Jammer are generally prohibited throughout the country, except under certain exceptional circumstances outlined in the regulation, which require prior approval from ANATEL.
Restrictions on Use
Signal Jammers are considered Restricted Radiation equipment. According to the Resolution, the blocking of radio communications must be limited to:
- Airports
- Prisons
- Designated Blocking Areas
The usage is reserved for specific entities, and blocking must only be used on specific frequency bands of interest without interfering with authorized radio-communication services outside of those limits.
Approval Conditions
Approval from ANATEL does not authorize the applicant or suppliers in the marketing chain to supply Drone/Signal Jammer for any use other than what is specified in the regulation or the technical and operational requirements.
Additional Information
It's worth noting that this application does not require OCD to run.
This Resolution will take effect on March 1, 2023.
