Device Lab
The cellular device is key to the user experience in how it connects the user with other users and with various services. For a service to perform optimally in the eyes of the user, it must perform at its best internally and in its communication with the network. Ericsson engages in testing, validation and certification of devices across all industry segment. Chipsets, modules, smartphones, industrial gateways, IoT devices and telematics units are all examples of devices which can be tested to comply with standards or to meet specific requirements put up by an operator or a device vendor. Ericsson has developed significant knowledge and assets to cater for the wide array of testing that our customers engage in. Customers can bring their device to our labs, or we deliver lab as a service on customer site.
