Our Homologation Service

Understanding the Process, Requirements, and Timeline for Telecommunications Equipment Certification in Bolivia

What is Homologation?

Homologation is the process by which the ATT (Telecommunications and Transportation Regulation and Oversight Authority of Bolivia) verifies that telecommunications equipment complies with national technical standards and is compatible with the National Frequency Plan (PNF).

Technical Compatibility

The ATT reviews the device's technical compatibility with authorized frequencies in Bolivia to ensure proper operation within the national spectrum.

International Standards

The ATT recognizes and validates test reports from internationally accredited laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025), streamlining the approval process.

Safety & Compliance

Verification of compliance with safety and electromagnetic emission standards protects users and ensures quality equipment in the market.

Official Authorization

Upon approval, the ATT issues the official certificate authorizing equipment commercialization in Bolivian territory.

⏱️ Average ATT Process Time

10 business days once complete documentation is submitted
