Background: Why ANATEL Resolution 780/2025 Was Needed
Brazil’s telecommunications sector has experienced rapid growth in recent years, particularly in e-commerce platforms and data center infrastructure. However, this expansion revealed significant regulatory gaps in the existing framework established by Resolution 715. Furthermore, ANATEL Resolution 780/2025 addresses these challenges by introducing comprehensive updates that ensure all telecom products and services meet current safety and quality standards.
Industry stakeholders had long requested clearer guidelines for data center certification and marketplace accountability. Additionally, the new regulation responds to these concerns while strengthening Brazil’s position as a leading telecommunications market in Latin America.
ANATEL Resolution 780/2025: Key Updates Include
- Mandatory certification for data centers that are part of telecom networks
- Joint liability for marketplaces (e.g., Mercado Livre, Amazon, Shopee) that offer non-certified products
- Expanded definition of violations, now including activities such as advertising, quoting and storing non-certified equipment
- Stricter rules for refurbished or second-hand products, which may only be certified for specific public programs
These updates aim to enhance transparency, quality, and regulatory compliance across the telecom product market in Brazil. Moreover, companies affected by ANATEL Resolution 780/2025 must begin compliance planning immediately to meet the upcoming deadlines.
ANATEL Resolution 780/2025: Implementation Timeline
| Topic | Key Change | Effective Date |
|---|---|---|
| Data Centers | Mandatory certification for data centers integrated into telecom networks | In effect since 01/Aug/2025; full compliance required within 3 years after complementary rules are published |
| Marketplace Responsibility | Marketplaces are jointly liable for offering non-certified telecom products | Starting 04/Dec/2025 |
| Expanded Infractions | Includes advertisement, storage, quoting, offering or pricing of non-certified products | Starting 04/Dec/2025 |
| Refurbished Equipment | Certification only allowed for specific government/public programs | In effect since 01/Aug/2025 |
Industry Impact Analysis
Data Center Operators
Data center operators face the most significant changes under ANATEL Resolution 780/2025. Previously operating in a regulatory gray area, these facilities must now obtain mandatory certification when integrated into telecom networks. This includes cloud service providers, colocation facilities, and enterprise data centers that support telecommunications infrastructure. Consequently, the three-year implementation period provides sufficient time for compliance planning, but early action is recommended.
E-commerce Platforms and Marketplaces
Major e-commerce platforms including Mercado Livre, Amazon Brazil, and Shopee now bear joint liability for non-certified telecom products sold through their platforms. This represents a fundamental shift from previous regulations where only sellers were held responsible. Therefore, marketplaces must implement robust verification systems to ensure all listed telecom products have valid ANATEL certification.
Telecom Equipment Manufacturers and Importers
Manufacturers and importers must adapt to expanded violation definitions that now include advertising, storage, and quoting of non-certified products. As a result, comprehensive compliance programs must extend beyond just the certification process to include all business activities related to telecom equipment.
