Overview

TRA regulation at a glance

The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) of Oman is the central governing body for the Sultanate’s wireless and telecommunications sectors. Any product utilizing radio frequencies or connecting to the public network must be type-approved by the TRA before it can be legally imported or sold.

In late 2024, the TRA implemented significant shifts, transitioning certificate validity from an indefinite period to a 4-year term and introducing a modernized labeling scheme that incorporates mandatory QR codes for digital traceability.
