Roke | Regulatory Compliance and Performance Optimisation

Focusing on regulatory compliance in the initial design phase of product development will reduce both time and cost prior to product release and drive a more rapid return on the R&D investment.

CTIA Compliant Anechoic Chamber and EMC Fully Anechoic Room

Design Assistance

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:

Practical advice for achieving compliance

Identification of approvals requirements for geographical end-markets
Translation of standards into product requirements specifications
Designing for compliance from the start
Design validation tested at each key development stage

Design assistance for ensuring optimal multi-mode performance

System planning for radio interoperability
Schematic and layout assistance for optimising system performance

With expertise in RF, Baseband, PCB, FPGA, Systems Integration, Co-Existence and Software Applications we can ensure that your design will perform optimally and be compliant.

'Find and Fix' Failure Analysis Service

If your product has failed compliance testing our ‘Find and Fix’ service will identify points of failure within the design and offer practical solutions to resolve the issues as fast and as economically as possible.

Validation of compliance at the prototype stage of development can avoid costly delays in product release.

Test Service

To avoid costly delays to your product release we can test against all of the relevant international requirements. In addition, our design expertise can offer practical solutions to any identified issues to quickly and economically rectify any potential points of failure.

Tests include:

EMC: Emissions and immunity testing to commercial and military requirements
RF: R&TTE, FCC, IC, MIL-STD and DEF-STAN

On-site Test Facilities

CTIA Compliant Anechoic Chamber - Essential for testing products for the US and increasingly European markets.
EMC Fully Anechoic Room (FAR) - Designed for EMC radiated emissions and immunity testing.

Certification Service

The certification process can be a complex and time consuming activity. Our certification services removes this burden. Our expertise and experience enables us to work with the test house to ensure the product will be certifiable. Our certification examinations include:

R&TTE Technical File and formal Notified Body Opinions
FCC and IC certification
GCF and PTCRB
NRTL listing for safety (UL, CSA, METLabs etc)

Personal Locator Beacon
Customer	Signature Industries (SI)
Challenge	Looking to build on their excellent reputation in the search & rescue beacon market, Signature Industries were looking for a development partner to deliver the next generation Personal Locator Beacon (PLB).
Approach	Initially we were asked to quote for the electronics development of the new PLB but after a few meetings SI were convinced that we were capable of developing the entire product. We undertook the entire product development which included concept, development, electronics, mechanics, software and development testing. Production Automated Test Equipment (ATE) was also developed for SI at their request.
Benefits	The resulting Personal Locator Beacon not only ensured that Signature Industries secured their lead customers, but also set new standards at a global level for functionality and performance versus weight. The PLB ensured that Signature Industries remain in a dominant market position.
