ANATEL published the new Act no 630 (for ETA – Access Terminal Station) with and Act no 631 (Transceiver for Radio Base Station) to include the NB IoT requirements.
This new act will allow manufacturer to certify its products in Brazil with this technology.
Table below shows the new standards included for NB IoT:
| ACT / Product | TECHNOLOGY | TESTING STANDARD INCLUDED FOR NB IoT |
ACt 630 (2019) / Access Terminal Station (ETA) | Nb-IoT LTE Cat. M1 | 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). |
ATTENTION:
Nowadays there is none laboratory able to do 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.
