NCC為防止2G(GSM)偽基地台詐騙，於台灣販售之手機於國內使用應關閉自動連線2G(GSM)基地台信號功能。

規劃於台灣販賣之手機應具備「手動開啟」連接2G基地台信號功能，並「預設關閉」，相關時程規劃如下(手機廠商得提前施行)：

1. 自114年5月1日後取得型式認證證明手機：應預符合前揭NCC要求。
2. 自110年9月1日 ~ 114年4月30日間取得型式認證證明手機：應於114年9月30日前透過線上軟體更新(OTA)方式符合前揭NCC要求。

To prevent 2G (GSM) fake base station fraud, mobile phones sold in Taiwan must have the automatic connection to 2G (GSM) base station signals disabled for domestic use.

Mobile phones sold in Taiwan are required to include a manual activation option for connecting to 2G base station signals, with the default setting set to off. The implementation schedule is as follows (manufacturers may implement earlier):

1. For mobile phones that obtain type approval certification after May 1, 2025: They must comply with the above requirements of the NCC.
2. For mobile phones that obtained type approval certification between September 1, 2021 and April 30, 2025: They must comply with the above requirements of the NCC via OTA (over-the-air) software update no later than September 30, 2025

台灣NCC已於2025年3月25日更新國內與海外認可電信設備測試實驗室清單。BSMI則於2025年4月14日更新國內與海外認可電磁相容指定實驗室清單。

NCC updated in-country and overseas Telecommunication Equipment Testing Labs on March 24th, 2025. BSMI updated in-country and overseas EMC recognized lab list on April 14th, 2025.

2025年2月資訊與影音商品檢測技術一致性研討會議記錄中表示，依交通部民航局(Civil Aeronautics Administration， CAA)113.12.1 之公告，需取得交通部民航局登錄後始可販售，為配合該項政策，請已有取得BSMI 無人機證書之廠商，記得於114 年12 月1 日前至交通部民航局登錄。

According to BSMI meeting minutes in Feb., regarding to the announcement of Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) on Dec. 1st, 2024, drones can only be sold after being registered with CAA. To comply with this policy, manufacturers who have obtained BSMI drone certificates should remember to register with CAA before December 1, 2025.

塞爾維亞

Serbia

2025年4月，塞爾維亞電子通訊和郵政服務監管機構 (RATEL) 正式頒布國家無線電頻段分配計畫的修訂。雖然目前僅有塞爾維亞語版本，但該公告已確認更新後的計劃現已生效，並體現塞爾維亞持續與國際頻譜協調工作和新電信技術保持一致。

更新後的計劃預計將為頻譜管理提供一個更靈活、前向相容的架構，其中可能包括為5G或物聯網等先進服務重新分配或指定特定頻段。這些變更是在該機構進行公眾諮詢和內部審查後做出的，旨在支持技術創新、確保監管透明度並促進無線基礎設施投資。

In April 2025, the Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Services (RATEL) of Serbia officially enacted amendments to the national Radio Frequency Bands Allocation Plan. While the full details of the changes are available only in Serbian, the announcement confirms that the updated plan is now legally in force and reflects Serbia’s continued alignment with international spectrum harmonization efforts and new telecommunications technologies.

The updated plan is expected to provide a more flexible and forward-compatible framework for spectrum management, which may include reallocation or designation of specific bands for advanced services such as 5G or IoT. These changes follow public consultations and internal review by the agency and are intended to support technological innovation, ensure regulatory clarity, and promote investment in wireless infrastructure.

2. 規定無線電台站的基本要求，例如衛星追蹤和傳輸控制能力。
3. 設定發射和接收的技術參數，並制定防止對其他無線電服務造成有害干擾的強制性規定。

這些標準旨在促進韓國安全且有效率地引入下一代衛星通訊服務，並確保在射頻環境中的技術相容性和干擾防護。

In April 2025, the Korean government officially amended the technical standards for earth stations (user terminals) supporting low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications. These revisions aim to facilitate the deployment of high-speed, low-latency satellite-based communication services by establishing specific regulatory and operational requirements for LEO terminal devices.

Key amendments include the following:

1. The operational specifications for user terminals, such as communication counterparts (space stations) and assigned frequencies, are now clearly defined.
2. Fundamental requirements for radio stations—such as satellite tracking and transmission control capabilities—are stipulated.
3. Technical parameters for transmission and reception are set, along with mandatory provisions to prevent harmful interference with other radio services.

These standards are intended to promote the safe and efficient introduction of next-generation satellite communication services in Korea and ensure technical compatibility and interference protection in the radio frequency environment.

美國

USA

美國聯邦通訊委員會(FCC)於2025年4月21日發布駁回令，結束5.850-5.925 GHz頻段蜂窩車聯網(C-V2X)營運相關早期豁免的過渡階段。公共安全與國土安全局、工程技術辦公室以及無線電信局的代理負責人聯合駁回剩餘的早期過渡豁免，認為這些豁免沒有必要。委員會確認，所有申請人現在均可根據5.9 GHz第二份報告和命令中製定的現行規則申請正式的C-V2X授權。

委員會已於2024年11月21日通過以C-V2X為基礎的最終技術規則，該規則於2025年2月11日生效。這些規則象徵5.9 GHz頻段之ITS運作從傳統以DSRC為基礎的系統正式過渡到C-V2X。在最終規則通過之前，FCC 已允許第 90 部分 ITS 許可證持有者在地理許可豁免的情況下運營以C-V2X為基礎的路側單元 (RSU)，並允許通過規則豁免進行設備認證。隨著新規則的生效，這些過渡條款已不再需要。

On April 21, 2025, the FCC issued an Order of Dismissal concluding the transitional phase for early waivers related to Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) operations in the 5.850–5.925 GHz band. Acting Chiefs from the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, the Office of Engineering and Technology, and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau jointly dismissed the remaining early transition waivers as unnecessary. The Commission confirmed that all applicants may now seek formal C-V2X authorization under the current rules established in the 5.9 GHz Second Report and Order.

The Commission had adopted the final C-V2X-based technical rules on November 21, 2024, which became effective on February 11, 2025. These rules marked the official transition of ITS operations in the 5.9 GHz band from legacy DSRC-based systems to C-V2X. Prior to the final rule adoption, the FCC had allowed Part 90 ITS licensees to operate C-V2X-based roadside units (RSUs) under geographic licensing waivers and had also permitted equipment certifications via rule waivers. With the new rules now in effect, these transitional provisions are no longer needed.
