The International 450 Association (IA450), whose mission is to promote the use of CDMA2000® in the 450MHz band (CDMA450), is pleased to announce it’s support for the CCF certification process for all CDMA 450 devices.
(PRWEB) January 10, 2008 -- The International 450 Association (IA450), whose mission is to promote the use of CDMA2000® in the 450MHz band (CDMA450), is pleased to announce it’s support for the CCF certification process for all CDMA 450 devices.
The CCF (CDMA Certification Forum) provides the most efficient time and cost to market certification available to the CDMA industry today. Using this global testing process as their test standard helps CDMA vendors and operators achieve unprecedented economy of scales when deploying their devices worldwide.
“By accepting CCF Certification, we provide the CDMA 450 industry with the opportunity to consolidate their testing solution using a single global certification process that will significantly improve their competitiveness’ says Tina Radford, Chairman of the I450. “ Many of the CDMA450 operators are already requiring the CCF Certification process and more will soon follow in an effort to reduce costs, accelerate time-to-market and improve the end-user experience.”
“The CCF testing process represents on average 18 weeks of time saved compared to traditional test processes and as much as US$400,000 in certifications costs per device” says Thomas Erickson, president and CEO of the CCF. “To date, 10 device vendors and 17 CDMA operators including Nokia and TATA Indicom have adopted the process. "Last year, an estimated 60% of all certified CDMA devices used the CCF process."
The CCF certification tests are conducted exclusively by Authorized Test Facilities present all over the world that undergo a rigorous set of audits to ensures the quality of their equipment and testing standards, as well as the repeatability and accuracy of the results.
