Qatar - Position Paper for IoT and M2M Service Devices

​This Position Paper on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) technologies, published by the Qatar Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA)​, aligning with Qatar National Vision 2030, the Third Qatar National Development Strategy 2024-2030, and the Digital Agenda 2030.

The CRA's position is that all IoT and M2M service devices sold or used in Qatar must undergo a dedicated approval process by the CRA. Ensuring that the devices meet established certification standards is crucial for maintaining the telecommunications network's integrity, security, and reliability. It is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturers, supplier of devices or the users to obtain such Type approval.​
