On August 31, 2026, Ukraine's National Commission for the State Regulation of Electronic Communications, Radio Frequency Spectrum and the Provision of Postal Services (NCEC) opened a public consultation on draft generalized conditions for the use of radio equipment and radiating devices.

The official draft covers three profiles: LTE Band 28 user equipment, 5G NR Band 28 user equipment and non-specific short-range devices used for remote control, telemetry, telecontrol or alarms in 865-868 MHz. For LTE, the draft specifies 703-733 MHz transmit / 758-788 MHz receive, channel bandwidths of 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz, a maximum transmitter power of 23 dBm and ETSI EN 301 908-13.

For 5G NR, it specifies the same principal frequency ranges and channel bandwidths, a maximum transmitter power of 25 dBm and ETSI EN 301 908-25. The 865-868 MHz SRD profile specifies 25 mW ERP, a duty cycle below 1% unless LBT and frequency-hopping spread-spectrum mitigation are used, no video transmission, an integrated or built-in antenna with gain not exceeding 9 dBi and ETSI EN 300 220-2.

Operation under the profiles is proposed under general authorization without entry in the general-users frequency-assignment register, subject to the stated conditions. Comments are due September 30, 2026.

The consultation is not yet binding and does not currently create a new certificate, import rule or labeling obligation.

Impact

Impact assessment: Medium.

Key reasons: the draft directly addresses frequency bands, transmitter power, antenna configuration, duty-cycle controls and technical standards used to demonstrate radio-spectrum conformity for LTE/5G Band 28 and 865-868 MHz SRDs.

Who is affected?

Radio-equipment manufacturers, importers, distributors, laboratories, conformity-assessment bodies and spectrum users.

Conclusion:

no immediate compliance change is in force, but affected stakeholders should compare existing product configurations and test reports with the draft and consider comments before September 30, 2026 .
