AIRCOM International Offers Mobile Device Testing Services to Ensure Interoperability of Mobile Appl
Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, Spain – February 19, 2009 – AIRCOM International (www.aircominternational.com), the leading independent mobile network planning and optimization consultancy, announced during Mobile World Congress 2009 that it conducts mobile device lab testing services. Trusted by a major U.S. tier one operator for pre-lab entry acceptance testing, AIRCOM’s device services provide proven testing and quality assurance procedures for handset manufacturers who are under increasing pressure to launch new devices that comply with industry standards and meet customer demand.
AIRCOM’s device test expertise includes GSM, GPRS, UMTS and CDMA. Application testing includes SMS, MMS, IM, WAP, Java, e-mail, streaming, Bluetooth, PTT, Security, MediaFlo, WiFi and third-party applications.
“As multiple technologies continue to proliferate throughout the telecommunications world, vendors are under increasing pressure to launch new handsets, balancing stability versus time to market,” said Marty Smuin, president of the Americas, AIRCOM International. “Rather than divert costly R&D equipment and expertise to ensure interoperability, vendors and mobile operators are increasingly choosing to use our services to relieve the pressure.”
AIRCOM’s independent test lab performs a host of testing services, including mobile device research and development, maintenance release testing, 2G and 3G device testing, and protocol and performance testing. In the field, AIRCOM’s mobile device services include testing of pre-release and post-release devices; turnkey and managed service capabilities, including UMTS terminals; and GCF field testing for major device manufacturers.
“With the continuing evolution of advanced mobile platforms such as Microsoft Windows Mobile, Android and Symbian, it is critical that both mobile device manufacturers and service providers ensure that their offerings deliver the best possible customer experience,” said Nancee Ruzicka, analyst at Stratecast, a division of Frost and Sullivan. “A proven vendor such as AIRCOM International, with its top-tier carrier experience and capability, provides the device and testing expertise to reliably bring next generation technology to market.”
“We take great pride in being one of the few companies who provide field testing and device lab services on behalf of both vendors and operators,” said Smuin. “It’s a testament to the trust we have built from our long-term relationships in the industry.”
