The coordinated proposals address both equipment certification and the Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) framework for Standard Power Wi-Fi in 5925–6425 MHz. Consultation 41/2026 would amend Act 14448/2017 technical requirements and Act 237/2022 conformity assessment test procedures for Standard Power access points and fixed clients using geolocation and AFC. Consultation 42/2026 would establish technical, operational and registration requirements for AFC systems, which would determine available frequencies and maximum transmission power by location and time using ANATEL database information. Both remain proposals, with comments due 3 December 2026 in Participa ANATEL.

Impact assessment: Medium.

Key reasons: The coordinated drafts would establish the equipment-certification and AFC-system framework for Standard Power Wi-Fi in 5925–6425 MHz. Consultation 41/2026 would amend technical requirements and conformity-assessment test procedures for fixed access points and clients using geolocation and AFC. Consultation 42/2026 would establish AFC technical, operational and registration requirements, including use of ANATEL database information to determine available frequencies and maximum transmission power. Both remain proposals, with comments due 3 December 2026.

Who is affected?

Wi-Fi equipment manufacturers, Brazilian approval applicants, designated certification bodies, RF laboratories, firmware teams, AFC service providers and system developers, prospective AFC registrants, and operators planning Standard Power 6 GHz deployments.

Conclusion:

Review device definitions, AFC interfaces, geolocation and test evidence, database inputs, registration requirements and device-association responsibilities. Coordinate with relevant certification and AFC stakeholders, submit comments by 3 December 2026, and continue applying current requirements until final acts are adopted.
