Rohde & Schwarz supplies conformance test systems to Marquistech for India’s first GCF RTO and PTCRB ATL lab

Marquistech has expanded its operations in Noida to build India’s first fully equipped conformance recognized test organization (RTO) lab for GCF and authorized test lab (ATL) for PTCRB testing based on Rohde & Schwarz systems. With this addition, the test house increased its local test capabilities for mobile devices, IoT products and wireless modules with support for 4G and 5G conformance, NB-IoT NTN, CAT-M, NB-IoT, MCX and location based service (LBS) certification.

Marquistech has selected Rohde & Schwarz to equip its conformance and EMI/EMC test lab in Noida, India, with various systems for GCF and PTCRB certification testing. The investment includes the R&S TS8980FTA-3A RF/RRM full type approval system, the CMX500 radio communication tester for protocol conformance, the R&S TS-LBS positioning test system for location based service testing and the R&S TS9982 and R&S TS9975 EMI/EMC test systems.

With this expanded setup, Marquistech has become the first fully equipped conformance test house in India for both certification programs. The lab, strategically located in the Delhi National Capital Region, is aimed at serving companies in the mobile, IoT and wireless module markets, at a time when India is gaining importance as an export focused electronics manufacturing location.

The newly installed systems from Rohde & Schwarz support legacy 4G as well as advanced 5G features, including non-terrestrial networks (NTN) and mission-critical communications (MCX), and lead in numbers of validated test cases covered. Additionally, Rohde & Schwarz has provided regulatory testing capabilities for EMC and EMI at the site to enable abroad range of services offered. This helps the test house minimize costs and reduce reliance on outsourced testing. For customers, it reduces the time to complete a certification campaign.

Marquistech has been active for some time as a GCF field testing RTO. With the expansion of their site in the Delhi National Capital Region, the company has now extended its global operations to conformance testing. This adds a broader local test offering for device makers that need certification support during development and before market entry.

Prashant Jain, VP, Marquistech, said: “Our goal is to provide a globally competitive certification hub for GCF and PTCRB testing, delivering quality, flexibility and faster time-to-market. Together with Rohde & Schwarz, we are helping strengthen the global wireless certification ecosystem.”

The local support structure provided by Rohde & Schwarz was a decisive factor for Marquistech. Rohde & Schwarz operates a major development site nearby with integrated laboratories that cover the wireless product lifecycle for conformance solutions, supported by local engineering and application teams.
