Verkotan Revolutionized GPS Testing of Wearable Devices
Oulu, Finland (PRWEB) August 19, 2016 -- Verkotan’s unique, GPS Air Performance Test (patent pending) has been developed together with the leading wearable industry players, Centre for Wireless Communication (CWC) at University of Oulu and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. TEKES and Hilla Program contributed in funding of the project.
Verkotan has developed a real Over-the-Air GPS field test environment into the test laboratory. Now GPS performance testing can be done quickly in controlled and repeatable conditions - something that has not been possible before. With one test run you can find out the total GPS performance (chipset, mechanics and antenna) of the device.
To enable an accurate representation of the absorption, shadowing and scattering effects of a user’s body, hand and forearm, SPEAG has provided state of the art anatomical human phantoms. The hand and forearm are movable to enable accurate repositioning of the device that is essential to an efficient and reliable test plan.
Kari Komonen, CEO: “Our GPS Air Performance Test enables customers to build better products and bring them to the market faster. GPS field testing used to take days or even weeks. Now reliable test results are available within one day! Our customers save in R&D costs and products hit the market faster. Controlled and 100% repeatable test conditions help our customers to make the right design decisions during the R&D. Outcome is better performance and quality.”
“We are delighted to continue our successful working relationship with Verkotan,” says SPEAG’s President Professor Niels Kuster. “Providing anatomical human phantoms has enabled a truly outstanding test solution for the wireless industry."
