IS440.x and IS940.x received PTCRB and GFC approvals
i.safe MOBILE has obtained the international mobile radio certifications GCF and PTCRB for the IS440.x 5G radio series and the IS940.x tablet series. These certificates form the basis for further provider-dependent approvals at international level and emphasise the company's global market presence. For mobile devices, the PTCRB and GCF certifications are particularly important for approval in North America and for separate approval with various providers. The certificates ensure that the devices comply with 3GPP mobile radio standards and fulfil the requirements for the respective mobile radio technologies.
5G radio IS440.x
The IS440.x 5G radio ensures reliable and uninterrupted PoC communication via public or campus networks (4G or 5G) and Wi-Fi®. By using a gateway, the IS440.x is compatible with older radio technologies and can be easily integrated into existing systems. It offers a user-friendly design, a replaceable battery, large buttons for PTT, SOS and channel selection, a powerful front speaker, an ISM interface and a functional fixing clip.
Using the pre-installed App World, compatible applications (such as PTT and MDM solutions) can be downloaded directly and updated regularly.
IS940.x tablet
The 10.1-inch 5G Android tablet for data communication in the process industry and automation can be easily integrated into existing system landscapes with 4G/5G campus networks or Wi-Fi 6. Equipped with a powerful, IIoT-optimised chipset, the robust and handy tablet offers numerous features: These include a 16-pin ISM interface, a 12-pin ISM interface for the docking station, support for Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 and NFC as well as a replaceable, high-performance battery. It also has freely programmable buttons and a main and front camera.
Certificate requirements
Certificates are test requirements that examine mobile devices for TRP (Total Radiated Power), the total actual radiation of RF power, TIS (Total Isotropic Sensitivity), isotropic sensitivity, RSE (Radiated Spurious Emissions), spurious radiation and emissions in idle mode, SIM tests, the SAR value (Specific Absorption Rate), the electromagnetic radiation value and individual network protocols, among other things.
After the mandatory government certification level, such as the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) in the United States and the IC (Industry Canada) in Canada, there is a second level. These industry standard certificates, such as the PTCRB and the GCF, are in turn the basis for the next level, that of network operator authorisations. The large number of global providers and their own certification requirements have resulted in a wide variety of test requirements for mobile radio standards and technological developments.
