To create a connected world of wireless devices, Certification Alliances have been creating standards from the very beginning of the digital era. They work with Authorized Test Labs (ATL) and chip manufacturers.
Being a technical partner, Comarch has been a part of this ecosystem for years. Our expertise covers the development of certification systems, test tools development (both software and hardware), building testing scenarios, and automated test scripts.
For one of our clients, we have developed a centralized platform covering the entire certification process. It manages all stages from the moment one submits an application to the stage the certificate has been issued.
Nayuqa's role in the certification environment
Nayuqa, as a professional services provider, commercially supports certification organizations at individual stages of standards development. We provide our solutions and services to support alliances in the creation of certification programs such as tool development, process automation and consulting services.
At the same time, we help other members of the organizations in the process of spreading and implementing new standards. In thinking about an “alliance” we also need to remember about ATLs (authorized test laboratories), for which we provide tools, training and other services to facilitate the certification cycle.
With their vast knowledge of the certification environment, our engineers have a better understanding of challenges with which new and mature alliances have to deal on a daily basis.
It is also important that Nayuqa acts both as a commercial partner and as a member of certification organizations if such need arises.
