The Board of the NATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS ENTITY has resolved:

•      > Replace the ANNEX “FREQUENCY BANDS ATTRIBUTED TO BE USED BY LOW POWER DEVICES” (IF-2018-39836741-APN-DNPYC # ENACOM) of Resolution No. 507 of dated October 22, 2018 of the NATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS ENTITY, by the ANNEX IF-2020-37371618-APN-SRR # ENACOM.
•      > To approve the Technical Standard ENACOM-Q2-60.14 V20.1 “Low Power Devices” that appears in ANNEX IF-2020-79216519-APN-SNYE # ENACOM.
•     >  Determine that for the approval of those transmitters / transceivers that carry out unidirectional / bidirectional communications, whose emission levels generate low interference capacity to other systems, and that operate in the bands from 915 to 928 MHz, 2,400 to 2,483.5 MHz and 5.725 to 5. 850 MHz and are included in the scope of ENACOM Resolution No. 4.653 / 2019, it will be necessary to comply with the specifications provided in the ENACOM-Q2-60.14 Technical Standard.
•      >  Repeal Article 4 of ENACOM Resolution No. 507 dated October 22, 2018.
•      > Establish a period of 90 calendar days from the publication of this resolution, within which all requests for Registration of low-power devices in RAMATEL, new and pending before this Body, may be evaluated in accordance with the minimum conditions and test methods established in the technical standard ENACOM-Q2-60.14 V18.1.
•       >  Provide that, in the case of renewals, the test report submitted for the original registration may be accepted, as long as compliance with the limits established in the new regulations is demonstrated.
•       >  Communicate, publish in extract, wish to the NATIONAL ADDRESS OF THE OFFICIAL REGISTRY. Signed: Claudio Julio Ambrosini, President, National Communications Agency.

ENACOM – Regulatory Authority of Argentina, revised the requirements for low power devices operating in the frequency range
915 – 928 MHz, 2,400 – 2,483.5 MHz and 5,725 – 5,850 MHz.
According to the resolution 551/2021 those device must comply with the specifications set out in ENACOM-Q2-60.14 V20.1
„Low Power Devices“.
In case of renewals the test report used for the initial approval may still be applied during the renewal process as long as compliance with the new limits is still given.

The Ente Nacional de Comunicaciones (ENACOM) of Argentina has issued new protocols for Broadband and Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) systems.These protocols are used for equipment such as WiFi, Zigbee, BT, and BLE devices.

Criterias:

All devices must be tested under these new protocols December 1, 2020 onwards.

Local test laboratory accreditations are granted automatically.  Still need to use conducted samples for required to test the devices. Testing will be performed in the same way.

The new protocols will impact the testing procedure and methods. Test labs must now measure both the minimum and maximum bandwidth of each band, depending on the technical specification of the device.

For renewals, original test reports will still be accepted as long as they keep complying with standard limits, and there are no changes to the original product specification.
