en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 8, Alexandre Freire, Deputy Director of Brazil's National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL), and Angela Oliveira, Head of the Science, Technology, and Innovation sector at the Brazilian Embassy in China, visited the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT). Wei Ran, Chief Engineer of CAICT, attended and moderated the exchange activities. The two sides discussed 5G testing and certification, personal information protection, artificial intelligence cooperation, and international testing and certification services.
The focus of this visit was on aligning communication technology regulation with industrial support capabilities. Freire and his delegation toured the 5G International Certification RF Testing Laboratory and the Personal Information Protection Laboratory. They were briefed on the development of the China-BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center, as well as the progress of TEL Laboratory's international testing and certification business.
The 5G International Certification RF Testing Laboratory addresses compliance verification needs for mobile communication terminals, wireless devices, and related products before entering markets in different countries and regions. For ANATEL, regulatory concerns include spectrum usage, equipment access, wireless performance, terminal compatibility, and consumer rights protection. For CAICT, testing and certification capabilities serve not only China's information and communication industry but also the standard adaptation and compliance efficiency for enterprise products entering overseas markets. By combining laboratory visits with business discussions in a single event, the two sides demonstrated that their cooperation extends beyond general exchanges to executable scenarios such as testing and certification, data protection, and AI governance. Brazil is a major communication market in Latin America, with growing demands for 5G network construction, digital infrastructure upgrades, AI applications, and data compliance management. Establishing a stable communication mechanism between regulatory authorities and technical institutions can help reduce cross-border compliance costs for enterprises and leave room for future standard mutual recognition, testing process alignment, and technical capability exchanges.
The China-BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center was also a key topic in the discussions. This center focuses on AI cooperation among BRICS countries, covering areas such as technical exchanges, industrial applications, governance experience, and capacity building. As a BRICS member and a major digital economy market in Latin America, Brazil has sustained cooperation potential with China in AI regulation, industrial implementation, and digital infrastructure construction.
The visit to the Personal Information Protection Laboratory extended the cooperation agenda to data governance. The operation of communication networks, mobile terminals, AI platforms, and cross-border digital services all rely on data flows, requiring regulators to establish enforceable rules balancing technological innovation, privacy protection, and market openness. Brazil has developed a relatively clear data protection regulatory framework, while China continues to improve its systems and testing and assessment capabilities in areas such as personal information protection, data security, and cybersecurity. The exchanges between the two sides on the Personal Information Protection Laboratory essentially addressed how regulatory rules can be applied to product, system, and service testing. In the future, more connection points can be formed in compliance assessment, capacity building, technical training, and standard discussions. For enterprises targeting the Brazilian and Latin American markets in communication equipment, smart terminals, cloud services, and AI applications, such exchanges will also influence certification pathways, privacy protection solutions, and localized compliance preparations for product exports.
This visit took place against the backdrop of intensifying cooperation in China-Brazil digital infrastructure and BRICS AI collaboration. As topics such as 5G, satellite communications, data centers, AI, and digital governance increasingly converge, the scope of cooperation between communication regulatory agencies is expanding from traditional network access to testing and certification, data compliance, AI governance, and industrial ecosystem coordination. The discussions between CAICT and ANATEL around specific laboratories and cooperation platforms help translate China-Brazil information and communication cooperation from policy exchanges into technical support and industrial service implementation.
