Updated Technical Requirement
While the earlier directive is no longer in force, BTRC has introduced a new mandatory condition for all ISM band Wi-Fi routers marketed or imported into Bangladesh: devices must support IPv6 technology.
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the next-generation internet addressing protocol designed to replace IPv4, offering vastly expanded address space and improved network efficiency. By mandating IPv6 capability, BTRC is ensuring that future network infrastructure and consumer devices can accommodate the country’s growing demand for internet connectivity.
Impact on Manufacturers and Importers
Manufacturers seeking to produce Wi-Fi routers locally must integrate IPv6 support into their designs before bringing products to market. Importers must verify that any routers they bring into Bangladesh are IPv6-compliant, as non-compliant products will not meet regulatory standards.
This technical requirement aligns with global trends toward IPv6 adoption and positions Bangladesh’s telecom market for smoother integration with next-generation internet services.
