On July 22, 2026, the FCC adopted a Report and Order establishing FCC Part 100 satellite licensing, a sweeping overhaul that retires the legacy Part 25 rules and rebuilds space and earth station authorization. The new licensing assembly line brings modular, certification-based applications, bright-line public-interest criteria, and new license categories, alongside a Further Notice seeking comment on further reforms. Here is what operators and manufacturers need to know.

INDOTEL has opened a public consultation on the operating parameters for low-power and ISM (ICM) devices in the Dominican Republic 915-928 MHz band, to be used under a generic licence with no individual authorisation. Draft Resolution 051-2026 sets indoor and outdoor power limits, aligns with FCC Part 15 and ACMA AU915, and invites comments within 20 business days. RFID, IoT and industrial makers should review how the 915-928 MHz-only scope affects devices built for the full

Paraguay CONATEL homologation rules are under review: the regulator opened, then closed, a public consultation diagnosing the weaknesses of its 2009 framework (Resolution 588/2009). Run as an ITU-supported Regulatory Impact Analysis pilot, the review flags a fragmented rulebook with no categories for IoT, wearables or 5G NR devices, no cybersecurity requirements, per-model fees and weak customs coordination. No draft rule exists yet, but manufacturers should prepare for a mod

South Korea's RRA has expanded the RRA KS X 3270 5G NR conducted test methods, widening coverage from two bands to six by adding n1, n3, n5 and n7, and introducing FDD alongside the existing TDD mode. Issued as a priority pre-implementation notice, the revised requirements take effect July 24, 2026 for new KC conformity assessments. Manufacturers with 5G devices in the KC pipeline should confirm test plans and lab scope reflect the broader band set and dual-duplex support bef
