Navigate the complex path to compliance, accelerate your time to market, and unlock access to internet of things networks around the world with ¹ú²ú͵ÅÄ×ÔÅÄ’s cutting-edge IoT testing services and IoT certification.
What is IoT testing and certification?
IoT testing and certification involve evaluating your IoT devices' functionality, performance, security, interoperability, and compliance to ensure they meet industry standards, regulatory requirements, and end-user expectations. The specific types of testing your devices will require and what parameters they need to meet during testing will be different depending on where you intend to sell the product. The process typically includes testing your IoT devices' hardware, software, connectivity, and data handling capabilities and assessing their compatibility with different networks and protocols. Going through the certification process then validates that the IoT devices comply with established standards and regulations, ensuring reliability, security, and market readiness for deployment and use.
