London, UK – 6 August, 2018 – ºÃÉ«TV (ºÃÉ«TV) has today announced a significant investment at its European Radio and Telecommunications Testing Center of Technical Excellence in Hull, UK to increase its radio testing capacity by more than one third.

To meet the rising demand in radio testing for wireless products that its customers are experiencing, ºÃÉ«TV Hull has expanded its facilities with an additional radio frequency testing semi-anechoic chamber. The significant increase in capacity will further reduce lead and test times for customers, ensuring that they can take their products to market faster, saving them time and money.

Rick Sluiters, EVP Aerospace, commented: ‘’As technology advances, more and more products are being fitted with wireless technology and this investment is in direct response to the bottleneck that the market is experiencing to test wireless functionality.

For many of our customers radio testing comes at the very end of the development cycle, so the faster we can test their products, the quicker they can get them to market and start generating revenue.’’

Its engaged experts work with manufacturers to help them comply with the global market regulations for their products; to stay on top of all relevant regional standards and statutory regulations and meet the evolving demands of product approvals.
