Acquisitions expand global wireless certification

SGS has become the North American leader in CDMA testing by acquiring Wireless Test Systems and has reinforced its market position in Europe by purchasing the former 7 Layers UK. With the presence of SGS on both European and US markets the mobile communications industry gains considerable advantages in terms of time and cost. The cornerstone making this possible is the comprehensive experience that SGS Wireless EU laboratories has already built up in the UK when operating as the former 7 Layers UK facility.

In the same way SGS Wireless services in the USA rely on the very experienced and knowledgeable staff of the prestigious Wireless Test Systems.

SGS reckons the equipment in both its new labs is world class.

In the UK highly qualified engineers, who are specialists in the GCF and PTCRB programmes, are contributing their knowhow to the market.

In the USA, the company can now provide automated test solutions and compliance test services for the wireless industry.

Both subsidiaries will be managed by their established management teams.
