Testing agreement targets Japanese market

Manufacturers of mobile phones, wireless-enabled notebooks and PDAs will be able to verify radio regulatory requirements related to CE marking and FCC approval in Japan.

Cetecom and Telec have reached a GSM/GPRS regulatory testing agreement that aims to provide local testing capabilities to the Japanese mobile and wireless communications industry.

The new GSM/GPRS test facility, located at the Telec building, will be the only of its kind in Japan managed by an independent third-party.

Manufacturers of mobile phones, wireless-enabled notebooks and PDAs will be able to verify radio regulatory requirements related to CE marking and FCC approval in Japan.

Both parties agree that conformance testing for 2G/2.5G devices will soon also be available in Japan.

"Cetecom is very glad to contribute to the development of this market, the most advanced in the world".

"Especially, since international roaming is becoming the trend in Japan, Telec and Cetecom wanted to add their contribution by implementing GSM local testing capabilities".

"Our hope is that Japanese manufacturers become even more global and competitive" said Dr Harald Ansorge, Managing Director of Cetecom.

Ryoichi Miyauchi, Executive Director of Telec, said: "We continue to focus on providing tools to Japanese companies to succeed globally, now in 2G and 2.5G.

Selection of applicable test cases, project management and test report generation is executed by Cetecom's TOM (testing and organisation management database) internet-based testing tool.

TOM allows maximum quality and efficiency when handling projects among different testing locations.

The start of the GSM/GPRS radio regulatory testing services in Japan is scheduled for March 2008.

Services not available yet in Japan are performed at Cetecom laboratories with local support in Japan.
