WPC ETA Certification for Wireless Repeaters
INTRODUCTION
A wireless repeater, also known as a range extender, acts as an amplifier for your Wi-Fi signal. It receives the signal from your main router and boosts its strength, extending its range. This is particularly useful for ensuring Wi-Fi coverage in areas of your home or office that may otherwise be out of reach.
Setting up a wireless repeater is generally straightforward and does not require additional wiring. It strengthens the existing Wi-Fi signal, enabling it to reach locations where the signal was previously weak. Essentially, it acts as a bridge between your main Wi-Fi network and distant devices, making it ideal for large spaces with thick walls. However, be aware that using a repeater can sometimes reduce your Wi-Fi speed slightly, as it splits its bandwidth between receiving and transmitting the signal. Proper placement of the repeater is crucial to maintaining optimal speed and coverage.
If you plan to market and sell wireless repeaters in India, obtaining WPC ETA (Wireless Planning and Coordination Approval) is a critical step. This approval is necessary for selling products that use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technology in the Indian market.
Understanding WPC ETA Certification
WPC ETA Certification, governed by the Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) wing under the Ministry of Communications of the Government of India, is necessary for all wireless and radio frequency devices operating in India.
