The technical standard establishes the requirements, technical parameters, criteria, and operating conditions for low-power Wireless Access System equipment operating in the 5.925-6.425 MHz band. It applies to low-power indoor wireless access systems and very-low-power outdoor systems for small areas.
The 5.925-6.425 MHz frequency band is allocated to the Fixed, Fixed-Satellite, and Mobile Services on a Primary Basis in Paraguay's National Frequency Allocation Plan (PNAF). In Paraguay, this band is used for the Fixed Point-to-Point Radio Link Service, the Fixed-Satellite Service, and low- and very-low-power Wireless Access Systems. Low-power Wireless Access Systems operate in this band on a secondary basis, meaning they must not cause harmful interference to primary services and cannot claim protection against interference from them. Radiocommunication equipment used in these systems must have a Certificate of Approval issued by CONATEL. Manufacturers must declare that the equipment can be configured according to the limitations of the technical standard, and a label or inscription must be included on the equipment and/or user manual indicating this configuration required for operation in Paraguay.
**WHOM DOES THIS IMPACT? **
The direct impact is on telecommunications operators, equipment importers and distributors, end users, and the regulatory body.
**CONCLUSION: **
The Technical Resolution has a significant impact on the telecommunications sector in Paraguay, as it regulates the use of a key frequency band for the development of wireless services.
