Brazil - Propose Regulation on 4.800-4.990 MHz Band

​Brazil National Telecommunications Agency - ANATEL proposed Public Consultation No. 23, May 10, 2021, on Regulation on 4.800-4.990 MHz band.

There is an outage of the allocation of the radio frequency range from 4.800 MHz to 4.990 MHz, in view of the expected use by 5G. In the scenario of possible upgrade of the destination, one should consider the problem of living with services currently operating in the range and adjacent tracks.

The purpose of the regulation is to ensure the proper use of radio spectrum for the operation of the telecommunications services involved. More specifically, the objective is to expand the possibilities of using broadband services in Brazil, including 5G, in the range of radio frequencies from 4.800 MHz to 4.990 MHz, maintaining the necessary alignment with international provisions and in a harmonious way with services currently operating in the range and adjacent bands.

The proposal is recieving public comments until June 28, 2021.
