Overview

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.

Challenges

Key Challenges We Address

Organizations in this space commonly face these compliance hurdles — we are built to solve them.

Type Approval Requirements

WPC type approval requires specific RF testing by DoT-recognized test labs, frequency band declarations, and technical parameter compliance — a specialized technical process.

Multiple Equipment Categories

Different wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, RFID, LoRa) have different WPC regulatory pathways, license exemptions, and approval processes.

Import and Market Access Timelines

WPC approvals are critical path items for product launches — delays in obtaining type approval can result in significant business impact for technology product launches.
