NSTL is the world's leading manager of mobile technology testing and certification programs, with a primary business focus on mobile applications and devices. NSTL works closely with Motorola and leading mobile operators such as Vodafone, Orange, Verizon Wireless, and Virgin Mobile to manage certification processes, and offers quality assurance and pre-certification testing to MOTODEV members worldwide.
Drawing on more than 20 years of expertise, NSTL's technical and delivery capabilities cover a wide range of market-leading technologies in the mobile and wireless space, as well as protocol families such as CDMA, GSM, Bluetooth and 802.11. NSTL is the only authorized test facility for all of the major mobile platforms—BREW, Java Verified, Symbian, and Microsoft Mobile2Market—providing NSTL with a deep understanding of the issues associated with testing mobile device applications.
Working with NSTL enables mobile application developers to:
- Provide quality applications to a wide range of network operators and manufacturers of handsets;
- Use a suite of test plans to assure applications meet the requirements of network operators; and
- Draw on NSTL's large inventory of handsets, eliminating the need for developers to keep such an inventory.
NSTL's extensive testing resources allow your team to focus on development, without maintaining a large testing staff. NSTL can also provide advice, helping you manage the complexities of dealing with carriers and get to market in the most efficient manner.
NSTL is pleased to offer MOTODEV members special reduced rates on its testing services (based on the size and scope of the developer's specific testing requirements), in order to get your applications to market quickly and efficiently.
