Platform RF testing and optimization services

Utilizing our state-of-the-art labs and testing facilities, our RF engineers work with OEM partners to optimize antenna design to achieve design objectives, whether it’s best-in-class performance, mechanical constraints or ergonomic requirements. Our first-class testing facilities can recreate demanding field conditions to test for sensitivity, RF desense, or throughput issues that will affect device performance.

We identify issues early in the design process, to reduce costs and time-to-market. In addition, our RF engineers are intimately familiar with the operator requirements. We can point out areas of potential non-compliance in advance of any operator or agency testing.

Please contact the local Sierra Wireless sales office in your region for more information.
