SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has expanded its global network of testing and certification services to the wireless industry after its laboratory in Branchburg, New Jersey, USA gained authorization for T-Mobile US stock and non-stock over the air (OTA) radiated performance testing for 5G as well as 4G.
This latest approval, from the trade association representing the US communications industry, expands SGS’s existing OTA capabilities and approvals for wireless operators including Verizon Wireless, Dish Wireless and AT&T.
