What is Network License?

A Network License is a WPC, i.e., the Wireless Planning Commission-issued license for those telcos seeking to operate networked wireless systems. These licenses are special permits for the Department of Telecommunication's issued licenses. Not much is available because they are add-ons to the pre-existing DoT licenses. The Network Access License uses to run their operations in the Telecom domain effectively. 

Now let us understand what Networked Products are. Networked entities are the products for which the DoT allocates specific frequencies to wirelessly networked products. The proposed licensee then operates on those wireless products.
