Labs are accredited for application testing
RFI Global Services has received accreditations for 2G, 3G and MMS (application testing) for all laboratories in UK, Taiwan and Korea
It is scheduled to open in Summer 2006.
The 560m2 facility will be equipped with the latest test platforms from manufacturers including Anritsu, Aeroflex, Cetecom and Comprion.
The first wave of equipment to be delivered will be the Anritsu ME7873F-10 3G RF conformance tester including RRM, multiregion support and HSDPA, a fully-loaded Aeroflex AIME/CT 6401 3G protocol tester including InterRAT, a fully-loaded Aeroflex AIME/CT 6103 2G/2.5G protocol test platform, Cetecom's MiNT quad band GSM/GPRS/Edge/AMR 2G/2.5GRF tester, a Setcom SCAT 5020 application tester and Comprion's IT3 SIM/USIM simulator, together with further support equipment.
Richard Jacklin, Director and Head of RFI's Cellular Business said: 'We have selected platforms that will provide RFI with the best test case coverage to offer Korean customers the benefit of local access to a first class lab with a globally recognised brand name'.
'We are recruiting and expect to have 20 staff by end of the first year of trading'.
The growth in cellular terminal manufacturing and development in East Asia is such that 60% of RFI's cellular testing demand now comes from Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China.
This growth has been dramatic compared with 10% testing demand from East Asia in 2000-01.
This swing towards East Asia has been a primary factor in RFI's investment decision for the region.
