Overview

To enhance the management of the radioelectric spectrum and provide high-quality services for Peruvians while fostering economic growth, the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) has published the updated National Frequency Allocation Plan (PNAF) for 2023. This updated plan invites comments and suggestions from the public.

Frequency Bands and Technologies

The updated PNAF outlines necessary frequency bands for the advancement of mobile technologies such as 4G and 5G, high-altitude platforms (HAPS), usage of television white spaces (TVWS), and improvements in home wireless coverage (WiFi -6E), among others.

The PNAF includes frequency allocation charts for various telecommunications services in Peru, ensuring they operate within previously defined frequency bands to maintain operability and minimize potential interference. This document is regularly updated to address changes in the telecommunications market, technology, and the outcomes of each World Radiocommunication Conference. Since its approval in 2005, the PNAF has been modified 35 times, with all adjustments compiled into the new document for easier navigation and understanding.

Public Participation

The published PNAF, under Ministerial Resolution No. 237-2023 MTC/01, is available for public comments and contributions for a period of 10 calendar days. Feedback can be sent via email to wazurza@mtc.gob.pe - mailto:wazurza@mtc.gob.pe. The MTC reaffirms its commitment to effectively manage the radio spectrum, improving the overall quality of telecommunications services and ensuring internet access across the country. As the MTC advances towards the development of 4G and 5G, it anticipates that more new products will become available, necessitating further regulations.
