The Global Certification Forum is adding device certification for cellular Non-Terrestrial Networks to its programs, responding to increasing interest across the industry in making sure that IoT devices and mobile phones successfully interoperate with emerging satellite-based connectivity options.
NTN certification will be activated with the next release of GCF certification criteria next month, according to the organization. GCF plans to activate a narrowband IoT certification testing for NTN first, to be followed by NTN certification for 5G New Radio devices.
