What is WPC (Wireless Planning and Coordination)?
Wireless products and devices — including Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, IoT products, and other radio frequency equipment — cannot be sold or imported in India without WPC type approval and, where applicable, import/manufacturing licenses from the Department of Telecommunications. Core Compliance provides WPC compliance services covering type approval applications, spectrum allocation liaison, and import/manufacturing permissions for wireless devices.
