The  Vodafone IoT lab in Newbury, UK, which is part of the GSMA Mobile IoT Initiative (Open IoT Labs) – has been used for the first time to complete Global Certification Forum (GCF) NB-IoT Field Trial testing on Band 5.

The testing was completed by IoTAS (an independent GCF – Recognised Test Organization – RTO) in accordance with the GSMA TS.40/CLP.23 field trials test specification. IoTAS are the only Independent Recognised Test Organisation to have obtained this accreditation.

The GCF has an IoT Agreement Group, comprising Manufacturers, Operators and Observers, which meets regularly, working to identify the scope of testing and certification required for IoT devices and applications.
