Radio market access guides
Everything below is drawn from the same dataset the API serves, with the source and date attached to each claim. Where a rule is not established we say so rather than guessing — the expensive errors in market access are confident answers that went stale.

Wireless type approval by country: the complete 2026 guide
The four variables that decide a hardware launch timeline — band availability, in-country testing, local representation and certificate validity — with a comparison table across the major markets and the three that most often surprise people.
By topic
Which countries allow 6 GHz Wi-Fi?
Full band, lower band only, or blocked entirely. Why partial-band markets are the trap rather than the blocked ones, and why two editions of the same industry survey disagree about the UAE.
Which countries require in-country testing and a local representative?
Two separate requirements that teams routinely conflate, with a full matrix, what each one adds to cost and schedule, and a planning sequence that puts the right thing on the critical path.
By market
ANATEL certification for Brazil
All testing in-country, foreign test reports rejected, a local representative required, and a certificate that expires in two years for most categories. The most under-budgeted market in the Americas.
Türkiye type approval was withdrawn
BTK stopped accepting applications in May 2021. There is no pre-market permit for radio equipment. Why the stale answer persists in consultancy guides and language models — and what it is worth to remove a line item from a launch plan.
Use the data directly
Every table in these guides comes from the Conformant API. You can query it yourself for your own radio stack and launch list — and if you would rather not write any code, the launch planner runs the same API in your browser with your own key and exports the result as CSV, JSON or SQL.
