2.Utilize Test Equipment Import Convenience: WPC allows AIRs to import up to 5 units per brand/model for testing/certification using a DPL, facilitating sample submission.

3.Anticipate 6GHz Band New Regulations: DoT released a draft for the lower 6GHz band in May 2025. While under consultation, it signals future band opening.

4.Understand Multi-Agency Landscape: Market access may involve WPC (radio), MTCTE plan, and BIS (CRS). A product may need to meet 2-3 agencies' requirements; conduct a comprehensive assessment.
