NTS Europe

Global Qualification of Telecom Equipment for Europe

As a leading provider of test and engineering services, with 17 labs located around the globe, NTS is ideally positioned to assist our European clients with their telecommunications testing and international telecommunications certification needs. NTS is authorized by Verizon and the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) to qualify Telecom equipment for the US market (see www.verizonnebs.com). NTS’ business alliance with SGS Center for Quality Engineering labs in Munich gives NTS the unique ability to provide full NEBS qualification and ETSI qualification in Europe, as well as a wide range of other Telecom testing and certification services. NTS is the only authorized US Independent Test Lab (ITL) and Nationally Recognized Test Lab (NRTL) which is able to provide local qualification of Central Office Telecom products in Europe, close to your development and manufacturing operations.

Lower Costs: No More Double Testing

Most European manufacturers perform ETSI testing for the European market at a local test lab near their R&D facilities. Then the products are usually sent to the US accompanied by expert technical staff to perform NEBS testing at an accredited US ITL test lab. Since ETSI and NEBS are largely identical this means that most tests are performed twice — at a high cost to the manufacturer.

NTS’ European Global Qualification Solutions allow European manufacturers of Central Office Equipment to perform all global testing in one sweep in Europe at a dramatic cost saving to the customer.

With these services available at our Munich lab, manufacturers no longer need to send products and technical resources to the US for testing. The qualification process can be carried out locally, thus lowering overall costs of product qualification and shortening the time to market for manufacturers based in Europe & Israel.
