WPC ETA for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Devices in India

WPC ETA for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Devices in India: GSR 1046 E, Permitted Applications & the Approval Process

Ultra-wideband is the quiet revolution inside the last few generations of flagship devices. The precise “find my keys” arrow on a phone locating a tracker tag, digital car keys that unlock only when the owner is actually beside the door, indoor positioning systems tracking assets to within centimetres in a warehouse, radar sensors detecting a
WPC ETA for Wireless Charging & Inductive Devices in India

WPC ETA for Wireless Chargers & Inductive Devices in India: The kHz Bands Explained (GSR 870 E, 697 E & 996 E)

Not every radio transmitter looks like a radio. A Qi wireless charging pad, an induction-based toothbrush charger, an EV charging system, a wireless power bank, an inductive proximity sensor, a metal detector, an anti-theft EAS gate at a shop exit — all of these devices generate radio-frequency magnetic fields in the kilohertz range, and in
WPC ETA for Wireless Medical Devices in India

WPC ETA for Wireless Medical Devices in India: MICS 402–405 MHz, Implant Bands & Medical Telemetry (GSR 673 E & GSR 1047 E)

Few wireless applications carry stakes as high as medical radio. A cardiac pacemaker that reports arrhythmia data to a bedside monitor, an implanted insulin pump adjusted through a wireless programmer, a continuous glucose monitor streaming to a phone, a swallowed capsule endoscope transmitting images from inside the body — these devices depend on radio links
WPC ETA for 433 MHz & Sub-GHz Short Range Devices in India

WPC ETA for 433 MHz & Sub-GHz Short Range Devices in India: IoT Sensors, Remote Controls & LPWAN Compliance (GSR 680 E, GSR 698 E & GSR 1047 E)

Below 1 GHz lies the quiet workhorse spectrum of the connected world. Sub-GHz radio — and the 433 MHz band in particular — carries an enormous share of the world’s short-range wireless traffic: car key fobs, gate and garage door openers, wireless doorbells, weather stations, tyre pressure monitoring systems, industrial remote controls, alarm sensors, smart
WPC ETA for RFID & NFC Devices in India

WPC ETA for RFID & NFC Devices in India: 865–867 MHz, 13.56 MHz & the De-Licensed RFID Bands (GSR 564 E, GSR 884 E & GSR 1047 E)

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Near Field Communication (NFC) have moved from niche logistics tools to core infrastructure across the Indian economy. UHF RFID drives warehouse automation, retail inventory, tolling ecosystems, and asset tracking; 13.56 MHz technology powers contactless payment cards, access control, metro ticketing, and every NFC-enabled smartphone and POS terminal; low-frequency RFID underpins
WPC ETA for Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Devices in India

WPC ETA for Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Devices in India: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz & 6 GHz Bands Explained (GSR 45 E, GSR 1048 E & GSR 316 E)

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are the two most widely shipped radio technologies on earth, and they sit inside almost every product category entering India — smartphones, laptops, routers, smart TVs, wireless earbuds, speakers, wearables, smart home devices, POS terminals, industrial gateways, drones, and connected appliances. Every one of these products transmits in spectrum regulated by the
WPC De-Licensed Frequency Bands in India

WPC De-Licensed Frequency Bands in India: The Complete 2026 Guide for Manufacturers & Importers

Every wireless product sold in India — from a Bluetooth earbud to an industrial RFID scanner — transmits on a radio frequency, and every radio frequency in India is governed by the Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) Wing of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Ministry of Communications. Before a manufacturer or importer can legally place
