  1. REGULATORY PROBLEMS OF USE OF THE 802.11b-BASED WLAN IN GUATEMALA According to the Art. 5 “Frequency allocations” of the ITU Guatemala is part of the Region No. 2. OROZCO DE LEON, Otto Eduardo, February 13, 2003, ICTP-ARPL SMR 1494

  2. Guatemalan Regulation basis Key aspects of the regulation: Objective of the law: The objective of this law is to promote the competence in the sector of the telecommunications and to increase the efficiency of the same one. Definitions: All the prominent terms are defined and is established that all the technical terms that are not in the same one will be understood for the definitions that establishes the International Union of Telecommunications (UIT). The titles will be emitted for a 15 years validity, and they could be renewed on request for the same amount of time if the request is presented between the 120th and 200th days before the expiration date of the actual title. The frequency renewal could be denied just if the frequency had no use. The Regulatory Agency will be able to deny the procedure of a request only if according to the technological advances is impossible to define the portion of the spectrum requested. If there is other people interested in the same portion of the spectrum , the Regulatory Agency should carry out a public auction for that portion of the spectrum. The auction should be supervised for an external firm of auditors of recognized reputation and the titles will be allotted to the major offer.

ISM equipment operating in these bands is subject to the provisions of No. 15.13 5.282 In the bands …. 2400 - 2450 Mhz… (in regions 2 and 3 only)… the amateur-satellite may operate subject to not causing harmful interference to other services operating in accordance with the table (5.43) wrc-2000. 5.393 Additional allocation not applicable to Guatemala 5.394 Not applicable to Guatemala 5.396 Space stations of the broadcasting-satellite service in the band 2310 - 2360 MGh operating in accordance with 5.393 may affect the service to which this band is allocated in other countries shall be coordinated and notifies in accordance with Resolution 22 Rev WRC 97.

  10. In the meantime… * Apparently allotment of the 2.4 Ghz. spread spectrum band ends in two years for one company and in five or six for the others. * What do people (researchers) at the both Public and Private universities do?? Should they “made some tests and measurements” * The Guatemalan Regulatory Agency have just created a Complaint Form SIT-RF05 that allows people affected by the assignment of frequencies to set-up an opposition for each frequency assigned in every coverage area. (At least 67 forms) * Should the “holders of the frequency “ just change their equipment just to allow the radio amateurs to experiment with the 802.11b WLANS in Guatemala????
