Test company LitePoint says its Ultra Wideband (UWB) testing platform is to be first validated by the FiRa consortium (Fine Ranging) for PHY compliance as part of its certified FiRa program. LitePoint was the first test provider to join the FiRa Consortium, which focuses on advances in the development of UWB, which allows devices to very accurately and securely determine the position of partner devices.
“UWB’s success lies in ensuring a seamless user experience and device interoperability,” said Clint Chaplin, secretary of the FiRa consortium’s board of directors and co-chair of the consortium’s compliance and certification working group; he is also a senior chief standardization engineer at Samsung Research America. “Certification is an important component of ensuring this interoperability, and we are pleased to have established the LitePoint test platform as part of the certification program.”
Adam Smith, Director of Product Marketing at LitePoint, said that the validation of IQgig-UWB “shows that this platform is not only the ideal solution for characterizing R&D and large-scale production, but can now be used for certification process and pre-certification. “
