The LoRa Alliance announced that LoRa Alliance Authorized Test House TÜV Rheinland has opened a LoRaWAN Certification testing site in India, and that DEKRA will also offer local certification testing by the end of the year. Both company’s sites in India will provide local testing of LoRaWAN devices seeking to become LoRaWAN CertifiedCM. 

At the same time, the LoRa Alliance announced that the LoRaWAN Certification Test Tool (LCTT), introduced this past June, is now available to LoRa Alliance members globally. These two developments offer strong support to the India market making it easier and more cost-effective than ever before to certify LoRaWAN devices.

DEKRA and TÜV Rheinland’s presence as local test houses in India means that companies seeking to certify their devices can do so with greater efficiency than ever before. The time and cost savings are achieved by not having to ship devices internationally. Further, LoRa Alliance members can now utilize the LCTT before officially engaging in the certification process, further accelerating development roadmaps and timelines.

Donna Moore, CEO and Chairwoman of the LoRa Alliance
As we look to support the growing number of LoRaWAN deployments in India, this expansion of DEKRA and TÜV Rheinland’s services here, along with full global availability of the LCTT precertification tool, are critical developments for our members and significantly augment device manufacturers’ ability to certify their devices.

Kalyan Verma, VP, TUV Rheinland India
LoRaWAN’s technical flexibility will address a broad range of IoT applications, both static and mobile. TÜV Rheinland’s LoRaWAN Certification program will guarantee that devices perform as per the specified standard.
