The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) launched a special page on its website that includes all the approved telecom devices in the UAE, which allows customers to check the approved devices compatible with the technical standards.

The page aims to inform customers about the devices that have been approved and tested with the networks of service providers in the country. It also helps public and private entities to ensure that the suppliers' offers contain devices approved by TDRA. You can check the list on TRA website.

In this context, Eng. Saif Bin Ghelaita, Director of Technology Development Affairs, said: “TRA strives to ensure that the telecom devices in the UAE are compatible with the approved technical standards of TRA’s Type Approval System, with the aim of ensuring access to the best services and full compatibility with the networks operating in the UAE. Due to the large number and diversity of these devices, TRA launched a special page that includes all TRA approved devices, which allows consumers to ensure that the telecom devices have been approved by TRA before purchasing them, through checking on TRA approved devices webpage, and making sure that the devices they want to buy are enlisted among approved devices.”

This can be done by searching for the name or the model of the device. The page includes more than 15 thousand devices, including mobile phones, computers and their accessories, tablets, transmitters and other devices that are used in the field of ICT.

TRA works continuously to raise the public awareness about the importance of ensuring that devices are approved before purchasing or using them, as this is vital in preserving their safety and the safety of those around them as well as protecting service systems. TRA provides several type approval services, including registering and approving telecom equipment, registering suppliers of telecom equipment in UAE, and issuing customs release permits for telecom devices. TRA’s type approval system identifies and registers telecom devices that can be used in the UAE without causing damage to users, or interference or damage to communication networks. It also monitors and participates in approving and registering telecommunications equipment in the UAE before importing them to ensure their compliance with laws and regulations.
