required to contact Type Approval directorate of PTA. The License, if provided, will be valid for 5 years after which it
will be mandatory to renew the License, if required by the applicant. Please note that if any of the following
condition is met, then please do not submit your application. Your applications will not be considered:
i) Max Output power (EIRP) of the transmitter exceeds 1 Watt, or
ii) Frequency range of end IoT devices is beyond the LPWAN frequency bands mentioned above
(c) IoT use case requiring exclusive use of frequency spectrum.: For this use case, the applicants are required to fill the
PTA Form for ‘’Private Radio Network license’’. In addition to this, Type Approval is also mandatory.
