04 Local compliance & market access
| Topic | Summary |
|---|---|
| Regulator | Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) |
| Type approval | Radio equipment normally needs type approval before import or local sale; the application is usually filed by the local importer or an authorised agent, and approved models are listed on the regulator's website. |
| Bands & power | Bands and transmit power must follow the local frequency plan and limits; the regulator's latest published documents govern, and we configure shipments for the target market. |
| Customs & documents | Customs clearance is handled by the buyer or its local importer; we provide the commercial invoice, packing list and certification copies per contract — final terms follow the quotation and contract. |
Always check the latest requirements on the regulator's website.
Questions
Q1 How far can a long link go?
It depends on antenna gain, line of sight and local power limits. Send the distance and site photos and we will advise on antenna and power.
Q2 Can you include solar power?
Solar units and batteries can be added to the same configuration sheet, sized from device draw and local irradiance.
Send link distances and point counts for an outdoor configuration.
