R&D for Mobile Devices

Mobile device engineers have to invest a significant amount of time and resources to obtain the knowledge required to verify product performance and compliance. Each stage of the development process, from hardware and software development to finished product evaluation, requires specific tests and using the best test solution is important to maximize the limited engineering time and resources.

Protocol Test

Mobile devices must comply with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications while ensuring consistent performance, even in the face of network load fluctuations. Achieving this requires thoroughly evaluating the stability and quality of the protocol in various environments.

RF Test

3GPP defines frequency bands in accordance with national regulations. Evaluating radio performance of mobile devices is crucial to ensuring that the transmission and reception for each frequency band meet the required standards. Using simulating realistic RF environment is an effective and proven testing method to achieve high-speed and stable communications.

Certification for Mobile Devices

Mobile devices must be interoperable worldwide. This requires conformance testing certified by the Global Certification Forum (GCF) or the PCS Type Certification Review Board (PTCRB), which set network operating standards and mobile device test standards. In addition, conducting required regulatory testing is mandatory because regulations on frequencies and radio use differ in each country.

Protocol Conformance

Per 3GPP-defined protocols, vendors should pass protocol tests to ensure a seamless connection between mobile devices and network equipment. These tests verify whether the device operates in accordance with the protocol test specification and evaluate compatibility, reliability, and performance.

Radio Frequency (RF) Conformance

To connect to worldwide 5G networks, it is crucial to support not only different combinations of frequency bands specified by each country, including 5G Frequency Range (FR) 1 and FR2, but also 3G (W-CDMA) and 4G (LTE) frequency bands.

Carrier Acceptance Test (CAT)

Mobile devices must support both conformance and regulatory tests as well as unique carrier-defined test cases.

Regulatory Tests

To successfully export and sell their products, mobile device vendors must comply with local regulations in target countries and regions. In-house testing prior to the official regulatory test can streamline the process and help ensure success.

Manufacturing for Mobile Devices

5G devices require many telecommunication modules to support 4G/5G as well as wireless connectivity technologies such as WLAN, Bluetooth, and even GNSS. As a result, production process has become more complex than ever, making product testing increasingly vital. Device vendors can gain a competitive advantage by using test systems that conduct complex wireless testing in a timely and cost-effective manner. This allows vendors to offer products that are both dependable and superior in terms of quality, which is an advantage in navigating the fiercely competitive market.

Inspection

Choosing the correct test solution is not just critical for reducing initial setup costs, but also for decreasing the inspection cost per device, thereby boosting productivity. Furthermore, considering future scalability is essential in the ever-diversifying field of wireless technologies.

Repair and Refurbishment for Mobile Devices

Repairing and refurbishing mobile devices can be a strategic business decision which can increase user satisfaction and support environmental responsibilities. Such practices can also enhance the business image and contribute significantly to business sustainability.

Repair

Demand for refurbished items is rising as mobile shipments continue to grow. To meet expectations for high-quality refurbished products, using dependable test equipment that conducts necessary testing in a timely and cost-effective manner is crucial.
