The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) unanimously approved, this Thursday (1st/8), at a meeting of the entity's Board of Directors in Brasília, the holding of a public consultation to reassess the regulation and reduce barriers to the expansion of applications based on internet of things and machine-to-machine communication, known respectively by the English expressions of Internet of Thing (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M). The public consultation, after publication in the Federal Official Gazette, will receive contributions from society for 45 days and a public hearing will also be held in Brasília, on a date yet to be defined, to clarify the proposal.
Through the approved public consultation, proposals for changes to the Regulation on Exploitation of Personal Mobile Service (SMP) through the Virtual Network will be presented to the company, making the Accredited model more flexible, which has been adopted as a regulatory solution to support the most diverse IoT applications. More flexibility will also be proposed for the performance of regional providers outside their area of provision through the use of numbering resources and their own roaming agreements. In addition, the proposal seeks to guarantee consumers access to information about the conditions of use of the services in all offer documents.
Expansion
The Agency's president, Leonardo Euler de Morais, analyzed, during the public consultation approval meeting, the importance of the future 5G notice, whose band auction should take place until next year, as fundamental for the expansion of IoT applications and M2M in Brazil. According to the report's rapporteur, Anatel Moisés Moreira's advisor, “the Agency's role, in the context of application development, is essential, having as its mission to expand the country's telecommunications networks to the billions of new devices that will need connection Anytime and anywhere".
The Agency's president also highlighted the importance of regulation under study on IoT and M2M as an item on Anatel's Regulatory Agenda for the years 2019 and 2020. According to the rapporteur, the final approval of the regulation should take place by the end of 2020. to quality standards, Moreira explained that the proposal under consultation creates exceptions to the application of these rules on accesses exclusively for the connection of IoT and M2M devices. The proposal is also in line with the National IoT Plan, approved by Decree No. 9,854/2019, he said.
During the meeting, the rapporteur recalled that several regulations approved by Anatel also contribute to the massification of IoT and M2M, such as the Structural Telecommunications Network Plan, which aims to increase the capillarity of access networks; the General Plan of Competition Targets, which reduces obstacles to the negotiation of roaming agreements; the Infrastructure Sharing Regulation, dealt with in Anatel Resolution No. 683/2017. In addition, other regulations are being revised to address specific issues that may impact the development of the IoT, such as the revision of the numbering regulation, the revision of the certification model, the re-evaluation of the regulation on pole sharing etc.
Following the rapporteur's recommendation, Anatel will also publish a guideline explaining the main regulatory possibilities to enable IoT and M2M applications.
