How do I ensure my devices are certified?

Mobile Network Operator Device Certification

In today's connected world, reliable and secure cellular network access is essential. To ensure the stability, performance, and security of our network for all users, devices connecting to it must meet specific technical standards and requirements. This is where device certification comes in.

 

Device certification is a process that verifies that a mobile device is designed and configured to operate correctly and safely on a cellular network. This includes ensuring compatibility with network technologies, adherence to regulatory standards, and preventing potential interference or harm to the network and other users.
