Brazil Issued New Resolution on Rrestrictions on Radiation of Wireless Communication Equipment

2017-07-18 Brazil ANATEL Issued New Resolution of Restricted Radiation Radio Communication Equipment, Res. 680/2017 Replaced Res. 506/2008.

Brazil Telecommunication Authority - ANATEL - published a new Resolution No. 680/2017 applied to Restricted Radiation Radio Communication Equipment (Unlicensed Devices: WIFI, BT, RFID, 2.4GHz SRD and many others) on June 27th, 2017. This new resolution will replace the actual Resolution 506/2008 within 60 days.

The new Resolution 680/2017 is just a law that establishes dates, definitions, bands where the use of restricted radiation is not allowed, since the technical contents with the frequency bands, limits and all other technical information will be published in another document before the revoke of the Resolution 506/2008.

Until now, nothing changed and ANATEL is aware that there are several certification processes running and according to them these ongoing projects will not be impacted. New projects can still use the ANATEL Resolution 506/2008 without problems.

ANATEL is aligning this new resolution to allow new technologies inclusion (like WPC and UWB), Technical Requirement for each will be followed soon.
