Anite supports first-class testing capabilities for CETECOM

Unique floating license enables leading test house to increase capacity and reach of carrier testing programme

Fleet, Hampshire, England – 13th of October – Today, Anite announced that it has bolstered the capacity and global reach of the test house CETECOM’s carrier acceptance and conformance test services, with its unique, flexible and cost-effective Floating License. This one-of-a-kind licensing solution provides CETECOM with Anite’s complete suite of wireless device testing software and hardware shared between laboratories spanning the globe.

CETECOM, a leading telecommunications and IT product test house, has responded to a growing demand from the device manufacturing sector to ensure their products meet the individual requirements of each carrier network they are deployed with. Thanks to Anite, CETECOM now has a comprehensive set of device testing solutions, across its worldwide locations, to help manufacturers to ensure their mobile devices are optimised to meet industry standards and network specifications. CETECOM’s globally located users can dynamically reserve licenses held on a dedicated central server. This enables CETECOM to offer its clients a superior service, with no cost or delay endured, as test devices are shipped to distant laboratories – a key advantage in bringing products to market much more rapidly.

Anite’s Floating License is the only licensing solution in the market that allows the flexible testing of a vast array of devices across global jurisdictions.

“Anite’s Floating License solution supports our strategy of providing complete testing coverage worldwide,” said Thorsten Stabenau, Director Corporate Marketing and Sales, CETECOM. “Using Anite’s solutions globally secures faster project lead times and ensures that customers can rely on us to help them place devices with the world’s leading operators.”

“The complexity of devices and mobile operators’ expectations of quality are increasing,” said Paul Beaver, Products Director, Anite. “However, this provides a huge opportunity for test businesses like CETECOM for solid growth. To achieve this, testing houses need the flexibility to meet the demands of device manufacturers, who mostly have globally-based operations, by responding rapidly at the point of need.
