What differentiates government certificates, industry standards certificates and network operator approvals?

Certificates for mobile devices are test requirements that examine the units for Total Actual Radiated RF Power, TRP (Total Radiated Power), TIS (Total Isotropic Sensitivity), Isotropic Sensitivity, RSE (Radiated Spurious Emissions), Spurious Radiation and Emissions at Rest, SIM tests, SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), Electromagnetic Radiation Level and individual network protocols.

Government certificates, e. g. the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) in the United States and the IC (Industry Canada) in Canada are mandatory for mobile devices. Industry standard certificates, such as the PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board) and the GCF (Global Certification Forum) are a second basis for for network operator approvals. As different global providers have their own certificate requirements, there exists a wide variety of test standards have been established.

RugGear devices are designed in Germany, the company is member of different standardization committees. RugGear cooperates internationally with leading mobile equipment suppliers and operators as well as solution and integration providers to offer industrial customers and public safety organizations tailor-made solutions. RugGear is represented in Europe, the USA, the Middle East, Australia and Asia.
