CRAN Type Approval — Namibia

CRAN Type Approval concerns the regulatory acceptance of applicable telecommunications and radio equipment for use or sale in Namibia. It is separate from South African ICASA approval.

Manufacturers, exporters and distributors introducing routers, connected devices, radio equipment and telecommunications products to Namibia should check CRAN requirements.
