Service offered include:

GCF Evaluation Testing
Designed to verify GCF FT Conformance behaviour of a terminal device, after a device manufacturer's formal GCF Declaration but before launch. This is usually performed on the requesting network and consists of either all, or a selected subset of the GCF-CC FT test requirements.

Product Acceptance Testing
Designed to provide field trial support for either a behavioural snapshot of a terminal device or an investigation campaign, or to confirm success or failure of specific functional areas of device software prior to launch in a live user environment. We can provide acceptance test criteria if required, though these are more commonly defined by the individual network operator.
 
Independent Product Evaluations
Designed to provide a non-biased report of device behaviour during a pre-agreed test campaign.
 
Product Benchmark Comparison Testing
Equal in Class or Best in Class, performance comparison testing is designed to measure the performance of any given terminal device or data card, as compared with one or more equally or higher classed devices.

Packet Switched Throughput Measurement Evaluation
Designed to provide the actual bit-rate performance of the network and/or terminal device under different QoS requests and network conditions.
 
Roaming Stability Testing
Designed to provide field trial support for either a behavioural snapshot or an investigation campaign, or to confirm the success or failure of specific functional areas of the device software while camped on a VPLMN.
 
'Real World' Product Operation and End User Satisfaction.
Designed to provide a non-biased report on the perceived impact of either incorrect software implementation or the overall operational behaviour of specific functions on the product satisfaction an end user is likely to experience.
