ENACOM releases Technical Standards for Broadband Digital Modulation Devices and Frequency Hopping Devices

ENACOM) of Argentina published Resolution 1132/2023 which introduced 2 new standrads – ENACOM-Q2-63.02 V23.1  and ENACOM-Q2-63.03 V23.1 for Broadband Digital Modulation Devices and  Frequency Hopping Devices respectively. This will now officially allow testing and certification of WiFi 6 devices operating on 5925-7125MHz.

1) ENACOM-Q2-63.02V23.1 – Technical Standard for Broadband Digital Modulation Devices such as IEEE 802.11xx, Bluetooth LE, IEEE 802.15.4 (Zigbee), DSSS, OFDM etc..
   – 5925-7125 MHz band has been regulated, so WiFi6 technologies can now be duly tested and homologated.
 – The following frequencies for broadband devices  now accepted by Argentina’s regulations:
• 902 – 915 MHz;
• 915 – 928 MHz;
• 2400 – 2483,5 MHz;
• 5150 – 5250 MHz;
• 5250 – 5350 MHz;
• 5470 – 5600 MHz;
• 5650 – 5725 MHz;
• 5725 – 5850 MHz;
• 5925 – 7125 MHz;
• 57 – 71 GHz.

2) ENACOM-Q2-63.03V23.1 – Technical Standard for Frequency Hopping Devices such as FHSS, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15.4 etc.
   – Operating bands for Frequency Hopping devices covered by regulation are:
• 902 – 915 MHz;
• 915 – 928 MHz;
• 2400 – 2483,5 MHz;
• 5725 – 5850 MHz.
3) These Technical Standards are with immediate effect.
4) A grace period of 90 days is granted by ENACOM from the resolution published date. During this period, homologation applications submitted under old test standards are accepted.
