On Feb. 1, 2019 - Brazil ANATEL published the new Act nº 630 (for ETA – Access Terminal Station) and Act nº 631 (Transceiver for Radio Base Station) to include the NB IoT requirements.
These new acts will allow manufacturer to certify its products in Brazil with this technology.
| ACT / Product | TECHNOLOGY | TESTING STANDARD INCLUDED FOR NB IoT |
|---|---|---|
| ACt 630 (2019) / Access Terminal Station (ETA) |
Nb-IoT LTE Cat. M1 & Nb-IoT Cat. NB1 |
ETSI TS 136 521-1 V14.4.0 (2017-11) LTE; Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA); User Equipment (UE) conformance specification; Radio transmission and reception; Part 1: Conformance testing (3GPP TS 36.521-1 version 14.4.0 Release 14) |
| ACt 631 (2019) / Radio Base Station | Nb-IoT RB | Item 6.3.3 NB-IoT RB power dynamic range for in-band or guard band operation, according to ETSI TS 136 141 V15.3.0 (2018-07) - LTE; Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA); Base Station (BS) conformance testing (3GPP TS 36.141 version 15.3.0 Release 15). |
Note:
Nowadays there is no local laboratory able to test for NB IoT testing in Brazil, so it may be possible to accept reports done by foreigner labs. In this case, the following rules must be respect:
a. Testing was done within 2 years
b. Testing was done by a laboratory accredited by an ILAC member (https://ilac.org/signatory-search/)
c. Test report must refer to the standards described in the ANATEL requirements.
