TDRA-Approved GPS Tracking for UAE Fleets
Etqan supplies and operates GPS tracking solutions aligned with UAE Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) requirements for legal import, sale, and use.
What Is TDRA Approval?
National Telecom Compliance for GPS Tracking Systems
The Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) regulates telecommunications equipment in the UAE — including GPS tracking devices. Suppliers must be registered, and devices typically require type approval before they can be legally imported, offered, or sold in the market.
Protects against illegal or non-compliant tracking equipment
Requires supplier registration for GPS tracking dealers
Type approval confirms devices meet UAE technical rules
Supports customs clearance and lawful market supply
