Internet of Things (IoT) testing

IoT device and network testing in all phases of the product lifecycle ensures performance, reliability and fast time to market

IoT will affect all industries and ultimately everyone's daily life. Expectations for IoT devices and networks with respect to reliability, performance, quality and long-term availability are extremely high, and wireless connectivity is a critical success factor for the Internet of Things.

IoT applications requiring global coverage and mobility will focus on cellular technologies, such as the 4G based LTE-M and NB-IoT technologies and 5G in the future. Others will rely on low-power WAN technologies operating in the unlicensed bands, such as Sigfox or LoRaWAN. The majority will use short-range or midrange wireless technologies such as Bluetooth®, WLAN/Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Thread and others.
