Introduction

Wireless technologies are rapidly changing industries throughout India ranging from retail and logistics to IT and telecommunications. Nevertheless, businesses using wireless devices must comply with the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and its Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) Wing rules and regulations.

DPL (Dealer Possession License) and NDPL (Non-Dealer Possession License) are two of the most significant licenses in this realm. Both DPL and NDPL licenses demonstrate compliance with legal possession, use, distribution, and/or importation of wireless equipment into India.

What is DPL/NDPL Certification?

Dealers Possession License/Non-Dealers Possession License is referred to as DPL/NDPL Certification. In India, dealers that sell, distribute, and own wireless equipment are required to have this license. The Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act acts as the basis for these licenses. The certification guarantees that dealers understand and are capable of managing the rules regarding wireless products.

DPL/NDPL Certification

What is a DPL License?

A dealer who holds a dealer possession license has permission to sell, own, and keep specific regulated products. Usually, regulations ensuring accurate reporting, documentation, and legal compliance apply to these licenses. Those who sell or own wireless products are referred to as DPL License holders, also called Dealer Possession License holders. These companies are involved in the selling and distribution of wireless equipment. It is against the telecom regulations for DPL license holders to offer their goods or products to any individual or entity that does not have a WPC clearance to use them.

What is an NDPL License?

These are NDPLs that permit the possession of specific regulated items as long as the conditions are met and the rules governing their ownership and use are observed to. Entities that are neither dealers nor owners of wireless devices are eligible to apply for an NDPL license, also known as a non-dealer possession license.

Why is DPL/NDPL Certification Important?

  • Consumer Safety. DPL/ NDPL certification help assure that wireless products entering the market do so according to specific safety standards to protect consumers against potential dangers such as electromagnetic interference or faulty devices.
  • Regulatory Compliance. To control the import, sale, and distribution of wireless products, the Indian government implements DPL/ NDPL Certification. The introduction of non-compliant or potentially dangerous products is denied, and the market order is maintained.
  • Network Integrity. Certified wireless products are less likely to cause interference with networks in existence, thus maintaining stable and reliable connectivity to all. Think about your WiFi extender, it should be there to help the signal and not cause interference.
  • Market Access. Manufacturers and importers must obtain various certifications, including DPL and NDPL if they wish to access the Indian market to sell their products legally.
  • Consumer Assurance. Consumers would feel more confident that the manufacturer is conducting business legally and offering complying devices if the DPL/NDPL certificates are visible.

Key Products Affected by DPL/NDPL Certification

The scope of DPL/NDPL certification covers a wide range of wireless products, including, but not limited to:

  • Routers and modems
  • WiFi extenders
  • Portable WiFi hotspots
  • Bluetooth devices
  • Wireless communication equipment
  • Smart home devices
  • Walkie-talkies

WPC license: A key requirement and close relation

Equipment Type Approval (ETA) and DPL/NDPL are frequently referenced together with the WPC license (Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing). WPC licenses are given to manufacturers and importers, while DPL/NDPL licenses are given to dealers. A WPC license certifies that the wireless products comply with the technical requirements and frequency distribution set forward by the WPC Wing of the Indian government’s Department of Telecommunications. In an ideal world, you need a WPC license in order to obtain DPL/NDPL.

The Connection Between DPL/NDPL, WPC, and Your WiFi Experience

Now that you daily have a WiFi extender because of which you don’t always skip the house very much, what would you need for your home? Buy one that gives a reliable signal. Unfortunately, if the respective manufacturer does not have the WPC license and if the dealer does not have a DPL/NDPL certification, one might end up with an under-performer, interference Creator, or unsafe device. Compliance with such regulations helps ensure a better experience for the consumer, in all.
