For the first time, the number of certified wireless modules overtakes smartphones, consolidating the use of 5G, LTE and Cellular IoT for many different applications and verticals.
One small step for the wireless industry, one giant leap for connecting the whole planet
In this article, we will look at certification for devices connecting to Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs), using 3GPP wireless communications standards over satellite communications, how the Global Certification Forum (GCF) is extending its activities to cover this sector and how we will address challenges arising.
From GSM to 5G, all generations of mobile wireless communication have been supported by GCF. In this article, we’ll look at how GCF handles the evolution of mobile technologies, and how it can help operators and service providers keep up with the latest changes.
In this article, we will review the challenges of testing and certification for the IoT, the industry trends as the sector evolves, and how GCF is helping ensure cost-effective, time-efficient certification programs are available.
Mission critical services (MCS) and critical communications must be available when needed, reliably providing voice and data connectivity to first responders, public safety services, transportation sectors, and more
