ETS-Lindgren Becomes CTIA Authorized Test Lab

ETS-Lindgren has been named the first Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) Authorized Test Lab (CATL) for mobile station over-the-air antenna performance testing. Manufacturers who want CTIA certification must have their wireless devices CATL-tested using the CTIA’s over-the-air antenna test procedure in order to display the association’s certification mark on their product.

ETS-Lindgren’s CATL is accredited by A2LA, which has mutual recognition agreements with other accreditation systems worldwide. Also, the company’s laboratory equipment calibrations are National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST)-traceable, and test processes are computer controlled for repeatability and data tracking.

ETS-Lindgren’s CATL testing is performed using an AMS™-8000 system. The system, manufactured by the company, includes a tapered anechoic chamber, a multi-axis positioning system (MAPS™), and EMQuest™ EMQ-100 pattern measurement software. A growing number of leading wireless equipment manufacturers and test labs throughout the world have purchased similar AMS™-8000 systems.

An international manufacturer of components and systems to measure, shield, and control electromagnetic and acoustic energy, ETS-Lindgren has products that are used for EMC, microwave and wireless testing, EMF measurement, RF personal safety monitoring, and sound control.

ETS-Lindgren is headquartered in Cedar Park, Texas, with manufacturing facilities in the USA, Europe and Asia.
