What is ETA (WPC) Certification?

The Equipment Type Approval (ETA) Certification is a mandatory approval issued by the Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) Wing of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Government of India. It is required for importers, manufacturers, and sellers of wireless and RF (Radio Frequency) devices operating in de-licensed frequency bands.

ETA certification ensures that wireless products comply with radio frequency (RF) norms set by WPC and do not interfere with licensed frequency bands.
