National Frequency Plan Summary: Paraguay

This summary concerns the regulatory update for the Republic of Paraguay as established by Resolución Directorio Nº 1232/2026. This resolution formalizes the modification of the previous Plan Nacional de Atribución de Frecuencias (PNAF) and mandates its renaming to the Plan Nacional de Frecuencias (PNF).

Transition of Documentation: The PNF replaces the PNAF. All existing legal instruments, technical regulations, and technical documentation referencing the PNAF are now to be interpreted as referring to the PNF.

Harmonization: The PNF incorporates the Cuadro de Atribución de Bandas de Frecuencias (CABF) and reflects international commitments, specifically aligned with the Reglamento de Radiocomunicaciones 2024 (RR-24) resulting from the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 (CMR-23).

Regulatory Maintenance: CONATEL is mandated to perform periodic updates to the PNF to ensure compliance with international agreements, evolving technological requirements, and the introduction of emerging services.

While the provided documentation outlines the administrative framework and the renaming of the national plan, it does not explicitly detail specific technical parameters (such as power limits, bandwidth, or emission levels) for short-range devices like WiFi, Bluetooth, or cellular equipment. Manufacturers and service companies must consult the internal technical annexes (Anexo 1) referenced in the resolution, which contain the specific Cuadro de Atribución de Bandas de Frecuencias and associated national notes (Notas Nacionales PRG) that govern device-specific technical requirements and coordination obligations in Paraguay.
