By integrating a GCF Certified module, or IoT chipset in their end products, the IoT product manufacturer can take advantage of the wireless capabilities of these certified modules or IoT chipsets that are already compliant to the 3GPP standards.
This allows for a more efficient and streamlined certification process, where the test results of the underlying certified
module and/or chipset can be leveraged as part of the end product certification, without having to redo that testing. This in turn allows for the Manufacturer to take advantage of cost savings and faster time to market for their products, while still ensuring the overall quality, and ensuring the target IoT application is operating correctly.
The recent issued IoT End Product Certification Guide takes you through the steps how to certify an End Product which integrated a GCF Certified Module or Chipset and can be downloaded here.
