Attention all stakeholders! The Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones (IFT) has launched a public consultation on a groundbreaking new initiative: “Technical Provision IFT-017-2023 for Radiocommunication Systems.”
Here’s what’s happening:
1. Setting the Stage: On December 1st, 2023, IFT unveiled a preliminary project aimed at regulating radiocommunication systems utilizing wireless access in local area networks (LAN). This initiative focuses on equipment using digital modulation techniques and operating within specified frequency bands, including 5150 MHz-5250 MHz, 5250 MHz-5350 MHz, and more.
2. Key Objectives: The primary goals of this project are to establish technical specifications for products operating within these designated spectrum bands, develop measurement procedures for compliance testing, and define specific conformity assessment requirements. By doing so, the regulation aims to ensure the smooth operation and compatibility of wireless access LAN systems in Mexico.
3. Your Voice Matters: Don’t miss your chance to contribute! The public consultation period spans 60 calendar days, ending on January 29th, 2024. Share your insights, suggestions, and concerns to shape the future of radiocommunication systems regulation in Mexico.
4. Submission Details: Ready to make a difference? Submit your comments and feedback to info.upr@ift.org.mx. Let your voice be heard as we work together to create a regulatory framework that fosters innovation, efficiency, and reliability in wireless communication technologies.
Impact Assessment:
- Market Access Requirements: Yes, this regulation will impact market access requirements. Stay informed to adapt your strategies accordingly.
- Spectrum Management: While spectrum allocation remains unaffected, the regulation ensures efficient utilization within specified frequency bands.
- Imports: No direct impact on imports, but compliance with the new regulation will be essential for market entry.
