Argentina's ENACOM promotes the private use of spectrum for strategic radio communications

Published /Effective /Argentina

New Resolution of the National Communications Agency (ENACOM), published on June 19, 2025, approves the incorporation of the 414-415 MHz and 424-425 MHz frequency bands for private trunked radiocommunication systems (SRCEP), provided there is spectrum availability and compatibility with previous assignments of the Link Concentration Radioelectric Service (SRCE).

This change responds to a specific request to implement a private radiocommunication system for a mining project in a mountainous area, considering the need for technological tools to support strategic activities such as mining, oil, and gas. The resolution justifies the measure based on regional precedents in countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Peru, where these bands are used for critical services, both in public safety and in the extractive industries. The text reaffirms the role of the National State in the non-delegable management of the radio spectrum, and ENACOM's commitment to promoting new technologies that guarantee efficient use of the spectrum and allow equitable access to telecommunications services.

WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?

The direct impact is on companies in the mining, energy, and infrastructure sectors, radiocommunications technology and equipment providers, ENACOM, and regulatory bodies.

CONCLUSION:

This is a medium-impact resolution, with concrete but sector-specific repercussions, which directly benefits strategic industrial sectors and specialized technology providers.
