Taoglas opens RF test chambers

27 April 2011 News

Taoglas has officially opened two purpose-built, advanced antenna and device RF optimisation test labs in the USA and Ireland.

In Miramar, San Diego, the company opened a CTIA-approved Howland OTA (over the air) 700 MHz to 10 GHz test chamber, and in Ireland a 12 metre 450 MHz to 10 GHz ETS Lindgren tapered anechoic chamber. Both facilities provide valuable services enabling M2M manufacturers to not only design and test antenna solutions for M2M devices, but to avail of pre-certification OTA (efficiency/radiation patterns/TRP/TIS) testing for PTCRB and USA network requirements.

The new M2M RF lab facility in Ireland is the only one of its kind in Europe and will provide the same service to M2M customers worldwide. The Irish lab also coordinates with European Union-funded R&D projects for LTE.
