To identify a wireless transmitter to function within the allowed radio frequency (RF) spectrum and adhere to the regulations established by the Department of Telecommunications' (DoT) Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) Wing, it needs a WPC ETA (Equipment Type Approval) Certificate.
To transmit data, audio, or video signals wirelessly over certain frequencies like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or other unlicensed bands a wireless transmitter is utilized. Before such devices can be sold, imported, or used in India, WPC approval is required because these frequency bands are regulated to avoid interfering with licensed communication services.
In a NABL-accredited lab, the transmitter's RF module is tested as part of the ETA certification process to ensure that it satisfies technical requirements such as frequency range, power limits, and safety standards. The procedure is quicker and might only involve submitting documents rather than conducting thorough testing if the device has a pre-approved RF module.
Customs officials may confiscate the wireless transmitter during importation if there is no ETA certificate, and the importer or manufacturer may be subject to legal repercussions. Thus, in accordance with Indian telecom regulations, obtaining WPC ETA certification guarantees lawful market access, seamless imports, and interference-free wireless operations.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
