WPC ETA approval support for wireless and RF-enabled products
Helping Manufacturers, Importers, Brand Owners & OEMs Achieve Seamless Market Entry
Wireless technology is no longer limited to smartphones and communication devices. Today, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID, NFC, Zigbee, LoRa, and other radio frequency technologies are embedded in a wide range of consumer electronics, industrial equipment, healthcare devices, smart home products, automotive systems, and IoT solutions.
Before such products can be legally imported, distributed, or sold in India, they may be required to comply with the regulatory requirements administered by the Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) Wing under the Department of Telecommunications.
