Rising Need for Unhindered Wireless Communicationis Expected to Boost the Growth of the OTA Testing Market During the Forecast Period

Global OTA testing market Overview

According to CRI Report, the global OTA testing market has been segmented based on technology, application, and region/country.

Over-the-Air (OTA) Testing is a process to analyze the wireless products by placing them into different real-time conditions developed in a test chamber and foretell the performance and its operational reliability in the real world. To carry out this process, the OTA providers place the device under test in an open environment created inside the test chamber to check if it fulfills the desired outcomes by reporting the entire signal path and antenna performance.

OTA testing ensures the device performs well in the actual operating environment as its performance is prone to deterioration in the real-time environment. OTA testing is a significant step in the certification of various electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and other connected devices that operate based on the networks to meet the requirements in the implied standards and regulations.

Additionally, the many IoT and M2M device producers need to certify their products by passing on them through compatible OTA testing to minimize the complexity involved in compliance regulations, eliminate the risk of design errors that may end up causing financial losses, and meet demanding global go-to-market schedules.
