How we helped our client

Automotive compliance and EMC testing for global type approval, ensuring wireless connectivity and safety certification for vehicle manufacturers.

Challenge

A leading supplier of communication units for the automotive industry needed Wi-Fi Alliance certification for both Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6. Their modules are integrated into vehicles by major car manufacturers, which made certification critical for market access and customer trust. However, the units were not fully ready for compliance: debugging and issue resolution were required before formal certification could proceed. This created the risk of costly delays and repeated testing cycles, which could impact delivery schedules to OEM customers. To mitigate these risks, the company chose our 6-Month Flat Fee Program — a fixed-price, all-in solution covering both debugging and certification, ensuring predictable costs and a smooth process.

Outcome

With our program, the client received end-to-end support: Debugging and issue resolution integrated into the certification process. Streamlined Wi-Fi Alliance testing for Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6. Cost predictability through the 6-Month Flat Fee model. Faster time-to-market by avoiding retesting cycles and unexpected lab costs. As a result, the automotive units achieved smooth certification and global compliance, giving the client confidence that their vehicles would deliver trusted, future-ready connectivity without budget overruns.
