Nepal updates
December 2023
The Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) has issued a new policy on radio frequency allocations with some updates affecting various frequency bands and technologies.
June 2019
Product with GPS cannot obtain a type approval unless the GPS is routed through a local server.
This will be thru hosting the clients GPS application on their servers (integrated with their application).The clients product with GPS will transmit data to local servers and from the local servers to the clients final destination. Example is a telematics product with GPS. The GPS feed would need to go from the telematics product to local servers which in turn would transmit the data to the clients service center.
Note that products in a "system" that tracks location and sends the data out of the country are also not allowed. An example would be some kind of engine sensor with Bluetooth that sends that information to a telematics device on the vehicle that then sends all data (including GPS data ) out of the country.
June 2023
The Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) has implemented mandatory IMEI registration for all mobile terminals entering the country, whether for personal use or to be placed in the market, before they can be used on the network.
