On August 16, 2023, ENACOM formally released Resolution 1132/2023, which outlines specific testing procedures for Bluetooth/WiFi/DSSS/FHSS interfaces and introduces brand-new comprehensive technical standards for Frequency Hopping and Digital Broadband Systems. This finally permits the testing and registration of WiFi 6 devices operating on 5925-7125MHz.
Here are the key points of the resolution:
-
ENACOM-Q2-63.03 V23.1 Technical standard for devices included on Frequency Hopping Systems.
- Specific Testing methods are established for the verification of each technical parameter.
- Antenna declaration requirement has been introduced.
- Radiated Testing Procedure is accepted for cases where it is not possible to carry out conducted measurements.
-
ENACOM-Q2-63.02 V23.1 – Technical standard for devices included on Broadband Digital Modulation Systems
- The 5925-7125 MHz band has been regulated, so WIFI 6E technologies can now be duly tested and homologated.
- Specific Testing methods are established for the verification of each technical parameter.
- Antenna declaration requirement has been introduced.
- Radiated Testing Procedure is accepted for cases where it is not possible to carry out conducted measurements.
Both Testing Protocols are now in place as of August 16, 2023, however local laboratories are still working on the implementation process. ENACOM has given a 90-day window to keep accepting homologation files that include reports generated using the previous Testing Protocols. The new standards will be enforced starting November 16, 2023.
