Aeroflex partner on 3G handset conformance testing

The partnership is the result of the long-standing working relationship between the two companies which goes back to 2001.

The Aeroflex 6401 AIME/CT conformance test system is being used within the network of SGS test facilities. The 6401 AIME/CT is a useful addition to the comprehensive test service portfolio of the group thus offering clients an even wider choice of high quality test systems. Installed and commissioned at the company's test laboratory on Melbourn Science Park (near Cambridge) in the UK, the 6401 AIME/CT with ISHO conformance test system is already being extensively used to enable its customers to easily satisfy all the requirements of the influential GCF and PTCRB certification programmes as well as regulatory approval.

'Aeroflex is an ideal 3G test partner for us for two main reasons'  - John Midwood, is the Technical Manager of SGS in the UK closely working on the partnership with Aeroflex 'Over the years Aeroflex has demonstrated a clear-cut ability to be at the leading edge of test case development which is absolutely vital for us as new 3G capabilities such as HSDPA and HSUPA start to come on stream.

Furthermore, from an engineering perspective, the 6401 is a highly accessible test platform which can be easily integrated into the LabSure system.
