5G Cellular Communication Devices Testing

Cellular testing – 5G New Radio testing | TÜV Rheinland

Ready for 5G with certification and radio type approval testing

Efforts to expand connectivity to more and more devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) with increased speed and efficiency have led to the development of fifth generation new radio (5G NR) technologies and devices. To accelerate the adoption of 5G, these products can be introduced using the control plane of an existing 4G LTE network as non-standalone mode (NSA) as well as ultimately operate on a standalone (SA) 5G core network on the user plane. These high-performance components, supported by 5G NR technical solutions, will operate at speeds one hundred times faster than possible with previous wired and wireless transmission generations to enhance functionality and reliability in IoT and cellular communication.

As a Notified Body in the EU and TCB in the US, we can help you achieve the certification applicable to your products. We provide comprehensive testing, certification and radio type approvals for all cellular technologies already like 2G, 3G, 4G and new 5G as needs are unique to your product, market, and network operator partners .

Our experts can assist you in all aspects of regulatory requirements and also in the industry standards required beyond these, e.g. ETSI, CTIA, PTCRB, 5GAA etc. We also offer comprehensive support for other technologies integrated into your devices, such as Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi® or even LPWAN – at anytime, anywhere in the world.
