Anritsu Equips CERT Tunisia with Multi-Technology Wireless Test Infrastructure to Support National Device Certification

Vienna, Austria  5th May, 2026 Anritsu EMEA GmbH has deployed a comprehensive wireless test solution at the Centre d'Étude et de Recherche de Télécommunications (CERT), Tunisia's national telecommunications testing authority. The installation equips CERT's conformity testing laboratory with a future-ready, multi-technology platform spanning from 2G to 5G NR, cellular, IoT, and WLAN, enabling the body to validate devices across the full range of wireless technologies entering the Tunisian market. The solution was delivered in partnership with Prisma International, Anritsu's authorized partner in Tunisia.

A Comprehensive Test Platform Spanning Current and Next-Generation Standards

At the core of the installation is the Anritsu MT8000A Radio Communication Test Station, enabling comprehensive 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA) device testing in FR1. The laboratory is further equipped with the Anritsu MT8862A Wireless Connectivity Test Set, providing WLAN test coverage from IEEE 802.11a/b/g through Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), and the Anritsu MT8821C Radio Communication Analyzer, supporting multi-technology cellular validation.

Together, the three platforms enable CERT to conduct conformity testing across a broad technology stack:

• Cellular: GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA, LTE (FDD and TDD), 5G NR FR1 (SA and NSA)

• IoT: LTE-M (CAT-M) and NB-IoT

• WLAN: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be (Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7)

Supporting National and Regional Regulatory Mandates

As Tunisia's official device certification body, CERT is responsible for validating wireless products before they are approved for commercial availability in the Tunisian market. Beyond this national mandate, CERT holds ITU-authorized status as a regional reference laboratory for Africa, supporting regulators across the continent through type approval training, advisory activities, and the promotion of best practices in regulatory compliance.

"CERT plays a pivotal role not only in Tunisia's national regulatory framework, but as a reference point for telecommunications certification across Africa. This deployment gives CERT the tools to validate devices across the full spectrum of technologies in use today, and those that will define connectivity tomorrow. We look forward to growing our presence and support for regulatory institutions across the MEA region." — Marco Bordin, Sales Director, Southern Region, Anritsu EMEA

Advancing Conformity Testing Infrastructure Across MEA

This deployment reflects Anritsu's continued investment in supporting regulatory authorities and accredited test laboratories with standards-based, vendor-independent test and measurement infrastructure. As wireless technologies evolve from 4G to 5G and beyond, robust conformity testing frameworks are essential to ensuring that devices entering national markets meet both regulatory requirements and end-user performance expectations.
