5. Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document:  Public 
Consultation 14, 24 March 2021. (4 page(s), in Portuguese)  
6. Description of content:  Public Consultation Proposal for update the attach ment to 
Act No. 3153, of 12 June 2020 about the technical requirements for Base Station (BS) 
conformance assessment with New Radio (NR) for Frequency Range 2 (FR2) of 5G mobile 
network.  
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems w here 
applicable:  The implementation of fifth generation (5G) mobile networks with minimum 
quality, security and interoperability requirements is essential for the development of 
telecommunications, as they have the capacity to absorb millions of devices op erating at 
high data transmission rates (theoretically tens of times higher than 4G networks) and 
with low latency (theoretically tens of times lower than the 4G network).  
These characteristics of 5G networks make them an important vector of transformation 
of our way of life, as they facilitate accessibility, expand coverage areas and allow the 
dissemination of services that are currently not viable in fourth generation (4G)  or lower 
networks, such as: industry 4.0, intelligent transport systems (ITS) and smart cities.  
In view of the contextualization presented, ANATEL 's Certification and Numbering 
Management organized, in May 2019, the creation of two working groups: GT 5G ERB and 
GT 5G EM. Both had the participation of industry, telecommunications operators, testing 
laboratories, designated certification bodies and ANATEL  employees. The objective of the 
groups was to develop a minimum set of technical requirements for certi fication of 
equipment with 5G technology, and the GT 5G ERB focused its efforts on compiling a set G/TBT/N/BRA/1156  
 
- 2 - 
 
  of requirements for evaluation of base stations, while the GT 5G EM was dedicated to 
mobile stations for fifth generation networks.  
The requirements proposa ls are based on 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) 
standards, which are internationally used in the evaluation and certification of these types 
of equipment.  
This consultation aims to present the proposal to update the requirements for the 
evaluati on of the technical compliance of Transceivers for Base Stations, aiming to include 
test parameters for equipment with 5G technology operating in millimeter waves 
(Frequency Range 2: 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz) and the update of normative references to 
version 16.6.0 of release 16 of 3GPP.; Quality requirements
