Nuremburg, 14th March 2023:  Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, today announces  Quectel  Certification Services, its range of IoT device  certification and testing services that will enable customers to rapidly  certify their IoT devices with regulatory organisations such as the FCC, IC,  CE, ANATEL, RCM, KC, Jate and Telec and carrier organisations including  AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Rogers, TELUS and Vodafone. This service  will enable customers’ devices to gain certifications in under eight weeks  (based on pre-certified Quectel modules) and is not only the fastest time to  market for IoT device manufacturers, but also the industry’s most  cost-effective offering.

Certification across these disciplines is complex  to achieve, involves multiple layers of certification from disparate  organisations and, typically, local and regional authorities award  certifications for device deployments in their own territories. The Quectel  Certification Services span regulatory, conformance and carrier compliance  requirements plus certifications for industry-specific devices and  environmental and safety-related certifications, such as such as ATmosphere  EXplosible (ATEX), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), Registration,  Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and waste  electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Quectel  Certification Services draw on Quectel’s global scale, speed and  expertise

“Going directly to certification or carrier organizations can  result in it taking up to six months for IoT devices to gain certifications,”  said Yoon Seungryoul, North American Certification Director, Quectel Wireless  Solutions. “For many IoT use cases a six-month delay to launch is  unacceptable and could make or break a proposition in markets where being  first-to-launch is a critical differentiator. This is why Quectel, with our  Quectel Certification Services, is bringing to customers our existing knowledge  of certification and testing processes and our relationships with  authorities, certification bodies, regulators, and carriers to provide our  customers with the industry’s fastest and most cost-effective go-to-market  offering.”

To further help customers, Quectel Certification Services  offers a pre-scan service in its own labs so certification compliance can be  assessed before applying to certification authorities, thereby saving time on  non-compliant certification applications. A further benefit for customers  that utilize both Quectel modules and antennas in their design, is that  device testing is included for free. Quectel also offers technical support  facilities and debugging solutions to address common, and not so common,  certification issues.

Quectel’s capabilities include project  management, administration, lab and carrier communications and management,  checking and managing test scope, providing the necessary on-site support,  and providing testing and debugging. In addition, Quectel will fix issues as  they arise and negotiate waivers where appropriate.

“We’re proud to have  launched Quectel  Certification Services and we’re ready to provide  full, global certification consultation and service to integrated device  customers that have products that are based on Quectel modules,” added  Seungryoul. “Quectel Certification Services have been gaining certifications  for Quectel’s own modules and customers’ devices for many years, so we’re  delighted to be bringing this expertise to customers and helping them  accelerate time-to-market and build a smarter world.”
