CDMA Certification Forum to address importance of device testing and certification at 2010 CDMA World Forum

USA: The CDMA Certification Forum (CCF) will be presenting a topic focus session about "Testing and Certification" of CDMA2000 handsets and devices at the 2010 CDMA World Forum.

CCF President and CEO Thomas Erickson will highlight the increasing demands being put on operator networks due to the rapidly-growing number of sophisticated CDMA2000 devices and embedded modules. Only an extensive and rigorous testing and certification process will ensure ideal handset performance, maximized network capacity and an optimal end-user experience.

Erickson will provide a detailed outline of the CCF's industry-recognized device testing and certification process, endorsed by the CDMA Development Group (CDG). He will discuss the risks that operators and manufacturers take by not testing, and clearly define the value that each stands to gain by utilizing one of the tiered device certification options offered by the CCF.

The CDMA Certification Forum (CCF) is a partnership of CDMA vendors and operators worldwide that has established and maintains a single core global device certification process. The CCF process allows quick and affordable certification of devices so they meet prescribed international performance requirements. This process improves quality through consistent interoperability, signaling conformance, and performance testing.
