Roke Manor Research Ltd (Roke) today launches its 'Regulatory Compliance and Performance Optimisation Service' to minimise re-design costs and accelerate product development time. 
Mobile handset testing.
Roke has partnered with product certification specialist Sulis Consultants to deliver the Regulatory Compliance and Performance Optimisation Service. Combining Roke's facilities and design expertise with Sulis’ certification know-how will deliver accelerated product development by minimising the requirement for re-designs and multiple test cycles. Access to Roke’s multi-disciplined on-site engineering team provides an immediate resource for analysis and solutions before the design is complete and the final expensive phase of certification testing starts. For products that have failed compliance testing, a 'Find and Fix' Failure Analysis Service can identify points of failure and resolve them as fast and economically as possible. The test facilities available at Roke are unique for a product development site. They include a shielded EMC anechoic chamber, with a working distance of 3m, and CTIA compliant anechoic chamber, both working up to 18GHz and suitable for tests including EMC and RF. SAR and ESD facilities are also available. Stefan Jacobs, Business Sector Manager at Roke, said: "The new Roke service offers practical support for multi-mode product developers wanting to achieve compliance cost effectively, while minimising time to market. With experience in the design, development and manufacture of multi-mode mobile products for both commercial and military customers, we are perfectly placed to offer both practical advice for achieving compliance and design assistance to ensure optimal product performance." Charlie Blackham, Director at Sulis Consultants, said: "Combining the expertise of both Roke and Sulis means that developers can now take advantage of compliance validation at the prototype stage to avoid costly delays in time to market for new products. As well as testing against all the international requirements, we can deliver a practical solution to rectify any points of failure that could have resulted in a more costly re-design further down the line."
