What is wireless chipset testing, and why do you need it? 

Wireless Chipsets are found in many devices, ranging from smartphones and radio equipment to IoT devices. Testing these chipsets involves rigorous evaluation of their integrated circuits (ICs) to ensure that they perform as expected, reliably, and in compliance with industry standards. Chipsets are tested in different real-world scenarios to check how they will perform in various environments and situations – factors like signal strength, data transfer, and compatibility with specific networks may be assessed. 

Chipset testing is so important because the proper functionality of wireless equipment, such as radio devices, begins with the integrity of the chipset. For certification and trade into the global market, many final product assessments require correct operation at the chipset level. It’s therefore crucial at the R&D stage to be sure your chipset is performing at its best and fully compliant with all relevant standards before you begin incorporating it into the final design of wireless equipment or radio modules.
