Intertek Selects Rohde & Schwarz to Expand Its Conformance Testing
Capabilities for LTE-Advanced, VoLTE and RCS Devices
COLUMBIA, Md., Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Intertek, the leading
quality solutions provider to industries worldwide and a globally
accredited testing laboratory for wireless device certification, has
selected the R&S TS8980FTA-2 and R&S CMW500 wireless test platforms
for its LTE carrier aggregation, IMS, VoLTE, RCS, GSM, WCDMA
conformance and carrier acceptance test requirements. These test
platforms allow Intertek to quickly and expertly test manufacturers'
wireless devices to carriers' latest requirements, which helps
facilitate acceptance onto their networks.

As mobile device manufacturers continue to incorporate the latest
wireless standards, such as LTE Release 10 with carrier aggregation,
IMS, VoLTE and RCS, Intertek, with the help of companies like Rohde &
Schwarz, develop new and innovative testing procedures to ensure the
quality of a wireless device without adding significant testing costs
or negatively impacting time-to-market. Test solutions must be quickly
and easily reconfigured for almost any type of industry conformance or
carrier acceptance test. Meeting these challenges requires flexible
solutions that can seamlessly address the testing complexities of
legacy, current and future technologies.
"With an increasing array of 4G devices hitting the market, it was
important for Intertek to support the full range of conformance and
carrier acceptance tests covering advanced technologies that customers
are asking for now and throughout 2014. VoLTE, carrier aggregation and
several other Release 9 & 10 LTE features are critical technologies
and the demand for ensuring the performance and conformance of the
latest devices is very high," commented Ron Bernot, senior staff
engineer at Intertek. "We understand the pressures our customers are
up against, whether it's getting products certified faster or for less
money. That is why we selected Rohde & Schwarz as our partner. Their
R&S TS8980FTA-2 and R&S CMW500 platforms are flexible, cost-effective
solutions for our customers, and reliable solutions for us."
