IoT Device Testing Solutions
IoT devices have various test items needed to maintain quality. Anritsu IoT device testing solutions and equipment help to evaluate the wireless communication quality of IoT devices.
IoT Device Testing Solutions and Equipment
Wireless communications are assumed to be the most common method used in the IoT market for connecting to the Internet. There is also news about using 5G, LTE, NB-IoT, Cat-M, wireless LAN (WLAN) and Bluetooth for these wireless communications and IoT devices（products） featuring these technologies are appearing.
For example, there are already many smart home appliances (IoT devices and products), such as cleaners and air conditioners, using wireless LAN, and devices (products), such as wireless earphones and headphones using Bluetooth are appearing. More-and-more IoT devices (products) featuring these wireless technologies are expected to appear in the market.
In the future, manufacturers who develop and manufacture IoT devices (products) expect more customers complaints about problems, such as difficult and dropped connections and short communications range, which will increase support costs. In order to prevent this situation, manufacturers who develop and manufacture IoT devices (products) must evaluate and test the wireless communications quality at the development and manufacturing stages.
By testing the quality of IoT devices (products) thoroughly at the development stage and guaranteeing quality, after-sales support problems can be reduced in advance.
Also, at manufacturing of IoT devices (products), defects may occur due to component or assembly failure. After-sales support problems can be reduced in advance by testing and checking the wireless communications quality of finished IoT devices (products) at the final stage.
Anritsu IoT device test solutions and equipment can check and test the wireless communications quality at the above-described development and manufacturing stages of IoT devices (products). They support all wireless communications methods, including 5G, LTE, NB-IoT, Cat-M, wireless LAN (WLAN) and Bluetooth.

Automotive testing solutions
With the critical nature of connectivity in the modern automobile, ensuring that key wireless technologies operate as expected has become increasingly important. Anritsu's automotive test solutions and equipment validate the operation of connected car communications systems, ensuring that quality products reach the market on time. Anritsu provides high performance test solutions and equipment for a variety of automotive applications. We invite you to learn more.
Wireless technologies have acquired increasing importance during the last decade in the automotive industry, making the experience of driving safer and more comfortable. All these wireless standards, including mobile, short range wireless and navigation, help to keep the driver connected everywhere, while broadcast technologies are now utilized to keep all of the car occupants connected and entertained.
Anritsu's portfolio allows testing of these technologies at all stages of the product development, from R&D to production, providing dedicated solutions and universal wireless testers that will ensure your products comply with the latest industry specifications.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) encompasses a broad range of products and services aimed at helping drivers drive more safely; while providing technologies that move vehicle development towards autonomous driving. Anritsu provides test and measurement equipment for ADAS services that make use of cellular, radar and DSRC.
The automotive industry is constantly increasing the presence of technology in vehicles. In excess of 100 separate control units will be part of average modern car, all generating more and more applications for informing and entertaining the passengers. All these devices, connected with each other, are constantly sending data to central computers or displays.
Anritsu has a wide variety of handheld RF test instruments to check cables, connectors, antennas and amplifiers.
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) provide innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management. Connecting transportation networks to each other and the broader internet will enable participants to make roads safer, travel more efficient, reduce air pollution and improve driver experience.
In the V2X space, DSRC technology and the 802.11p standard have advanced to solve short-term needs. This represents the first wave of mainstream V2X deployment, with LTE and 5G coming later to enrich connectivity and add extra capability.
Anritsu provides advanced solutions for V2X, from R&D to field test, to manufacturing. These solutions integrate unique features that reduce complex processes and increase efficiency, ultimately reducing test time and test cycles.
Anritsu offers a full set of equipment for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Where different technologies are simultaneously operating in public frequency bands thorough EMC and EMI testing are of vital importance.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) testing is a must before launching a product into the real wireless world. Spectrum Analyzers, near field probes and handhelds from Anritsu will ensure your product is compatible with the standards.
