Prices move with batch and FX — the formal quotation governs.

Sea freight into Jebel Ali and other ports; air for samples and urgent projects.
Certification and compliance files are verified per model; local market access responsibilities are set out in the contract.
English packaging and manuals are standard; Arabic versions can be customised by volume.

Topic	Summary
Regulator	TDRA (Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority)
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.

Q1 Can you support tender documentation?

Yes — typically a spec comparison, a certification list and packing data. Send the tender requirements and we map to them item by item.

Q2 Can you send engineers for commissioning?

Remotely by default (configuration templates, channel planning, roaming troubleshooting); on-site support is assessed and quoted per project.

Send the tender requirements or scenario and we will return a line-by-line mapping.
