What Is a WPC License?
An authorization issued under Indian telecommunications law, known as an A license, is conferred upon entities through the auspices of the Wireless Planning & Coordination wing within the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. All companies engaged in producing, purchasing, selling, using, or operating electronic gadgets equipped with wireless technology like Bluetooth accessories, WiFi networks, mobile radios, unmanned aerial vehicles, Radio-Frequency identification tags, Internet-of-Things components, and similar items must comply with this requirement.
Accordingly, depending upon the nature of machinery required for specific applications.
WPC grants various license classifications:
- ETA (Equipment Type Approval) Certificate
- Non-ETA License
- Import License
- Experimental License
- Manufacturing License
- Dealer Possession License (DPL)
