New Roke Service Will Ease the Compliance and Performance Challenges of Multi-Mode Mobile Development

ROMSEY, England, January 20 - Roke Manor Research Ltd (Roke) today launches its 'Regulatory Compliance
and Performance Optimisation Service' to drive a less expensive and better
mobile experience.

The new service is uniquely scalable, allowing developers of multi-mode
mobile products to choose from a range of design consultancy services and
pre-compliance testing, through to a complete certification package. The
scalability element makes the service suitable for both integrated
development assistance and inclusion within collaborative partnerships or
design ecosystems.

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 minimise the requirement for re-designs and
multiple test cycles. For products that have failed compliance testing, a
'Find and Fix' Failure Analysis Service can identify points of failure and
resolve quickly and economically.

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 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. 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."
