Vancouver, May 2023 – Quectel  Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, has published a new  white paper titled ‘How  to accelerate IoT device launch with optimized certification’. The  new paper details the complexities associated with achieving certification  across different geographies and jurisdictions and describes often overlooked  tasks and compliance burdens. In addition, the paper assesses the relative  merits of attempting to handle certification in-house, utilizing  certification agents or selecting pre-certified components to help speed up  the approvals process.

IoT device certification has become increasingly  important due to its potential to cause bottlenecks in product or service  introduction. The paper reports that too often certification has been seen as  an afterthought with its impact only understood when lack of certification  prevents a product launch. The Quectel paper instead advocates considering  certification, across all the relevant dimensions, at the earliest stage and  planning for a smooth process alongside device development.

Quectel has recently  announced the launch of its own range of Testing and Certification Services,  providing customers with a comprehensive portfolio of professional services  and management tools., Quectel Certification Services is designed to meet the  unique certification needs of customers across various industries and  technologies.

“Quectel has become so experienced and adept at navigating the  challenges of certification that we can now achieve a six-to-eight week  certification process for Quectel module customers’ devices based on pre-certified  Quectel modules,” said Seungryoul Yoon, North America Certification  Director, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “That is in contrast to going directly  to certification organizations which can result in it taking up to six months  to gain certifications. 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.”

By offering a range of professional  services and management tools, Quectel Certification Services is able to  customize solutions to meet the specific needs of each customer. This enables  customers to have a smooth process for IoT device certification and avoid  potential delays in product launch. Quectel is able to support a multitude of  customers in all markets, providing an in-depth global view of certification  demands across nations. This knowledge and experience, which would be  expensive and time-consuming for all but the largest corporations in the  world to build for themselves, is now easily available to Quectel’s  customers.
