The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) of Peru has issued a statement for all users and marketers of telecommunications equipment in the country.

In the statement, the MTC has explained that the TAC can now refer to either the final device or the internal module incorporated within the device for the purpose of granting a Homologation Certificate. This means that manufacturers and importers have the option to register the TAC to either the device or the internal module, providing more flexibility in the homologation process. This change aims to strengthen the market in the commercialization of telecommunications equipment and the MTC is providing all facilities to ensure that the homologation procedures are agile and effective, thus guaranteeing the proper functioning of equipment on mobile networks in the country.

Ministry of Transport and Communications of Peru (MTC) issued the Resolution 488-2021-MTC/01. According to this document, the 470-698 MHz frequency band for wireless telecommunication services became available for the unlicensed use. However, the technical characteristics must be the same as for TV White Spaces technologies operating on the 470 MHz to 698 MHz bands that were approved earlier.

Apart from that, the MTC has modified its National Frequency Attribution Plan enabling unlicensed access to the 6 GHz band, where 1200MHz of spectrum in the 5925MHz-7125MHz (6GHz) band was identified for unlicensed Wi-Fi 6E access.

Currently, the technical parameters for the unlicensed use of the 6 GHz band are under consideration. Nevertheless, the unlicensed access to the whole 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi will take Peru to a higher level where ultra-fast Wi-Fi brings new applications and new industries to the market

Peru regulatory authority MTC is now enforcing the requirement to obtain updated approvals for cellular products with IMEI numbers previously approved by MTC without consideration of the GSMA registration and TAC.  The updated approval must include the GSMA registration as a mandatory requirement, and each TAC requires separate MTC approval.  Please contact Approve-IT for support updating any Peru MTC approval of a cellular product that was approved based on the prior MTC process, to avoid issues importing products into Peru.
