Intertek expands 5G testing and certification solutions to APAC

Intertek has expanded its assurance, testing and certification services for 5G products to the Asia Pacific market.

The expansion allows manufacturers from a variety of industries in APAC to test and validate the next generation of mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) devices to requirements of various global markets, including those specific to the US.

Launched in the US in 2019, Intertek’s 5G solutions include consulting services, R&D support, testing, and certification of 5G-enabled devices. The expansion of these services offers regional manufacturers localised testing and certification, allowing turnaround time and costs to be minimised, thus helping ensure fast and efficient product launches onto major US operator networks, as well as those of operators worldwide.

The services are complemented by Intertek’s extensive capabilities in cybersecurity, regulatory requirements and wireless in Asia Pacific that assists manufacturers in bringing comprehensive cellular-connected products to market.

"Over the coming years, 5G technology will transform the way we live and work. We’re very proud to be able to support our customers’ development of this cutting-edge technology and help them to seize the opportunities this technological revolution creates for society," said Tony Walker, vice president of Intertek.
