6. Description of content:  Resolution No. 742 Amends Resolution No. 711 of May 28, 
2019,  and the Regulation on Conditions of Use of the Radio Frequency Range of 3.5 GHz, 
as well as approves the Regulation on Conditions of Use of the Radio Frequency Range 
from 24.25 GHz to 27.90 GHz.  
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where 
applicable:  The National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL) is responsible in Brazil 
for administering the radio spectrum, is running the respective standards, in addition to 
regulating the efficient and adequate use of the spectrum, restric ting the use, or 
modifying the destination of certain radio frequencies or bands; The 2019 World Radio 
Communications Conference identified the radio frequency range from 24.25 GHz to 27.5 
GHz for International Mobile Telecommunication systems in a harmoni zed way worldwide 
and the harmonized use of radio frequency bands by mobile communication systems 
around the world brings benefits in terms of connectivity and economy of scale; The need 
to adapt the use of these radio frequency ranges to the technological  evolution of mobile 
communications systems; Mobile communications systems have evolved to provide 
diverse usage scenarios and applications such as enhanced mobile broadband, massive 
machine -to-machine communications, and high -reliability, low -latency comm unications; 
Low latency and high -transmission rate applications require large contiguous blocks of 
radio frequency ranges; The intrinsic characteristics of radio frequency bands in millimeter 
waves facilitate the use of advanced antenna systems, including multiple antennas and G/TBT/N/BRA/1146
