  • Guarantee safety of your devices with wireless testing

    The increased integration of wireless technologies is enabling connectivity services in all kinds of devices and applications, such as connected cars, smartphones, wearables, smart cities, smart grids, smart homes and eHealth. At DEKRA, we work to make sure these devices comply with the expected levels of interoperability, security, safety and reliability. This often goes beyond standards promoted by authorities, industry consortia and network operators.

    We have the most complete wireless certification and testing network of labs in the world. With the largest coverage in different technologies (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA, HSPA, LTE, WiMAX™, Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi®, RFID and NFC) we offer a real one-stop-shop approach for the certification of telecommunications devices.

  • OUR SERVICES

    Connectivity

    We test and certify the standards and protocols that enable the connectivity of your products so they can work and talk to each other seamlessly.

    • Wi-Fi® is a wireless technology that is present everywhere and it is one of the fastest-growing global wireless technologies in the world (802.11a / 802.11b, 802.11g / 802.11n, 802.11ac).
    • Bluetooth is everywhere and has become a global and popular technology that we use every day and in many different applications. Currently, we are covering the services for the versions: 2.0 / 2.0+EDR, 2.1 / 2.1+EDR, 3.0 / 3.0+HS, 4.0 (BR+EDR+BLE), 4.1, 4.2, 5.1.
    • MirrorLink® is a technology standard that allows a consumer to access their phone using the same controls they use for accessing the car radio, climate control, and navigation system.
    • NFC (near-field-communication) is a short-range wireless connectivity technology that provides intuitive simple and safe communication between electronic devices. The NFC Forum logo gives consumers confidence that a product will deliver a good user experience and meets industry standards.
    OCF certification improves IoT interoperability, reduces time-to-market and enhances the customer experience with OCF specific testing and certification, UPnP certification, and AllJoyn testing and certification.

    MFi Program: DEKRA is a MFi Authorized Test Laboratory. We offer testing & certification services according to Apple's MFi programs for vehicle, telecommunications and infotainment system manufacturers, which are licensees of Apple's MFi program.

     

    Mobile payments

    The use of contactless and mobile payments is on the rise. Let us help you achieve worldwide interoperability and acceptance of your secure payment transaction devices by testing and certifying according to the following standards and specifications: 

    EMVCo: Based on ISO 14443, EMVCo has developed a set of specifications and test specifications for the contactless payment use case. They cover Points of Sales (POS), Contactless Cards (PICC) and mobile devices. The certification scope includes: 

    • Level 1 Analog and digital protocol: POS, PICC, mobile and wearables
    • Level 1 Interoperability, performance, and multi-environment (SWP), eSE, HCE)*: Mobile and wearables

    NFC Forum: This organization is aimed at facilitating contactless device communication, without being tied to any specific use case. The certification is available for NFC Universal Devices, Tags and Reader/Writer devices and the scope includes:

    • Analog: Focusing on the basic aspects of RF communication (Universal, Tag & R/W)
    • Digital protocol: Including protocol core functionalities (Universal, Tag, R&W)
    • LLCP and SNEP: Higher layer protocols for peer-to-peer communication (Universal, R&W)
