📋 Tender Overview
The Compliance Assessment Regulation and Homologation of Telecommunications Products underwent review by the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel). The main changes involve marketplaces, the regulation of reconditioned equipment and the data centers.
One of the most significant changes was the formalization of solidarity accountability of marketplaces and other digital platforms involved in the commercialization process, due to the offer of non -approved telecommunications products or in disagreement with Anatels technical requirements.
According to the agency, linked to the Ministry of Communications, the performance of these platforms goes far beyond a virtual showcase, being an essential part of the marketing chain and, therefore, they must respond jointly and severally to sellers for infractions related to the supply of irregular products, normalizing an understanding already adopted in Anatel decisions.
The consolidated understanding is that, by intermediating sales and controlling aspects of the transaction, these platforms assume the role of supplier, pursuant to the Consumer Protection Code.
Rebounded products or renovated revision of the regulation also included the possibility of approval of refurbished or reformed products, provided that it is intended for public policies. The goal is to ensure that only fit and insurance products are reused, avoiding unfair competition and consumer risks.
This will give an extra warranty, for example, to the equipment we deliver within the program for inclusion, which is reconditioned by qualified computers centers, says Communications Minister Frederico de Siqueira Filho.
Date CentersPela first time, Anatel sets guidelines for assessing compliance of data centers that make up telecommunications networks. The decision recognizes the strategic role of these structures in the era of cloud computing, artificial intelligence and 5G and future networks, where the border between telecommunications and information technology is increasingly faint, said Anatel advisor Alexandre Freire.
The data centers that make up the infrastructure of the operators should be cataloged, classified and accompanied by the agency. Before they are operated, they will need to be evaluated for compliance with resilience, physical safety and cybernetics requirements, energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
The detailed operating procedure will be published within 240 days after the existing date of the standard, and existing data centers will have a period of three years to suit.
