IOT Consulting Partners

4G, 5G & LTE-M Testing

We provide expert cellular compliance and certification services to ensure your IoT and connected devices meet global regulatory and carrier requirements. From CE and FCC to PTCRB, GCF, and operator-specific approvals, we simplify the complex path to worldwide connectivity.

Why Cellular Testing and Certification Matters

4G, 5G, and LTE-M technologies are the backbone of modern IoT — powering everything from smart meters and asset trackers to industrial automation and connected vehicles. To succeed in global markets, your product must meet strict regulatory requirements (FCC, CE, MIC, etc.) and carrier certifications (PTCRB, GCF, operator testing). Without these approvals, devices risk delays, extra costs, or even rejection by network operators.

Our team ensures that your product is tested, certified, and ready for deployment — with fewer surprises and faster market access.

Our Cellular Services

  • Certification Planning & Guidance - Identify the right approval paths for your device, including CE (Europe), FCC (USA), MIC (Japan), ISED (Canada), RCM (Australia/New Zealand), PTCRB, GCF, and operator-specific testing;
  • Testing & Debugging Support - Pre-compliance evaluations and full certification testing, covering spurious emissions, SAR, RF performance, and coexistence. Early debugging prevents costly delays;
  • Global Regulatory Approvals - Assistance with all major markets: CE (RED 2014/53/EU), FCC/ISED, MIC Japan, RCM, UKCA, and more. We align your testing for global readiness in one streamlined process;
  • Carrier & Alliance Certifications -Guidance for PTCRB and GCF certifications, plus support for operator-specific approvals required by major carriers worldwide;
  • Cybersecurity Alignment -Ensuring compliance with the EU RED Delegated Act (EU 2022/30) effective August 2025, and EN 18031 cybersecurity requirements for connected cellular devices;
  • Documentation & Technical Files -Preparation of essential regulatory documents: technical construction files, risk assessments, and declarations of conformity.

Your Cellular Device, Tested, Certified and Ready

Our expertise ensures that your 4G, 5G, and LTE-M enabled devices meet both regulatory and carrier requirements — without unnecessary delays.

With our structured approach, you’ll achieve market access faster, avoid hidden pitfalls, and stay aligned with the latest cybersecurity and compliance standards.
