International manufacturers usually face a big challenge with certification processes in different markets. Some countries share the same approval scheme, as it is the case of European Union countries, but some others have their own processes. To know all of them and, even more, to be fully and periodically updated is a tough job. Additionally, it is very common nowadays to find products supporting multitetchnologies, so it is critical to follow an efficient approach to optimise time-to-market and cost.
Tracking all approval changes is a daily task for AT4 wireless compliance team and, for that reason, it becomes the best option to support manufacturers when planning international approval campaigns.

AT4 wireless handles approvals in over 150 countries, covering all type of telecommunications devices (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA, HSPA, LTE™, WiMAX™, Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi®, RFID, NFC, DECT, SRD and PSTN). This is possible thanks to AT4 wireless worldwide presence and long relationship developed with in-country partners, such as, local test laboratories, approval bodies, authorities and local engineers, among others, which help to speed up the certification process.
