WPC certification in India

India WPC (Wireless Planning & Coordination Wing) is an Indian regulatory agency that regulates wireless regulations. All wireless products must obtain WPC approval before entering the market. There are two types of frequency bands in India: free and unavailable. For free frequency bands, such equipment only needs to apply for an ETA (equipment type approval) certificate; for other frequency bands that are not free, you need to apply for a license. Both the ETA and the license holder must be a locally registered company. Based on CE R & TTE or FCC ID (Indian local standard), 2G / 3G / 4G requires mobile operators to apply.

Specifically, any wireless transmission less than 3000 Ghz without manual control is considered "wireless communication" as defined by WPC. These frequency bands are under the control of WPC. That is, wireless transmissions (such as infrared) with frequencies higher than 3000 Ghz are not considered "wireless communications." WPC certification does not control these frequency bands. Since India has two types of free and unopened frequency bands, for wireless communication products whose frequency bands and output power fall within the control range, an ETA certificate must be applied to the WPC. In addition, ETA holders must be locally registered companies. In addition, WPC accepts the CE report's RF report to WPC certification, without the need to provide samples and tests.
