5G Compliance Testing
Modern communication systems require rigorous lab testing. Our 5G testing solutions cover all relevant standards for cellular devices, including LTE, 4G, and 3G, ensuring seamless certification and swift global market access.
5G Technology
Evolution and Advantages
5G is revolutionizing wireless communication, offering peak download speeds that can reach up to 10 Gbps under ideal conditions—approximately 10 times faster than 4G LTE-Advanced—while significantly reducing latency. This technology will facilitate the connection of up to 1 million Internet of Things (IoT) devices per square kilometer, profoundly impacting how we live, work, and interact.
Accelerate your 5G product launch with our expert testing services. Ensure compliance for your 5G and legacy cellular products. With years of experience in radio testing, we provide efficient and reliable solutions to get your products to market faster.
Testing Scope
Precision Testing for Cellular Devices
Our 5G compliance testing services ensure your devices meet stringent global standards, covering both NSA (Non-Standalone) and SA (Standalone) configurations. NSA mode uses existing 4G infrastructure for core functions while enhancing data transmission with 5G technology, offering immediate deployment benefits. SA mode, on the other hand, operates independently with its own 5G core, unlocking the full capabilities of 5G, including lower latency and increased network reliability.
In addition to 5G, we also test for compatibility across LTE, 4G, and 3G/2G technologies, supporting seamless, multi-generational market entry. Our comprehensive testing across relevant frequency bands verifies performance under real-world conditions, helping you achieve faster, risk-free access to global markets.
Our services include:
5G NR (New Radio): Supporting both NSA and SA configurations.
LTE/LTE-Advanced: Verifying compliance with existing LTE networks.
4G/3G/2G: Ensuring compatibility with legacy networks.
RF Performance Testing: Validating stability and performance.
Optimize your 5G device performance and interoperability with our testing solutions, ensuring compliance with international standards.
Compliance Standards
Regulatory Testing
Cellular device testing is subject to varying standards and regulations worldwide. Understanding these specific requirements is essential to achieving global compliance. Our testing services prepare your products for each target market with precision. Contact us to discuss how we can support your 5G and cellular testing needs.
