The additional capacity will accelerate testing by over 50%, enabling customers to get fully-certified products to market even faster.
GRL opened its Dongguan lab in 2018 focused on cable and connector testing and certification. Today, GRL Dongguan provides official product certification testing and debugging services for a wide variety of products. GRL Dongguan’s expansion supports a growing number of customers in a variety of sectors, from consumer electronics to automotive, displays and mobile computing.
The larger lab complements GRL’s state-of-the-art lab in Shanghai, which offers official certification testing, pre-compliance, and debugging for USB, DisplayPort, HDMI, Thunderbolt, DDR, MIPI, PCI Express, SATA, SAS, SD Card/UHS-II and Ethernet to 100Gbps.
The expansion of the Dongguan lab is fully in line with GRL’s longstanding goal of being the go-to expert for all connectivity testing, compliance and certification needs. That includes offering customers in industries from enterprise data center and digital consumer products to pro AV, automotive and medical equipment, a fast and effective way to ensure interoperability and validation at every stage of the product lifecycle – from chips to system level – including production testing.
“GRL specializes in enabling new and emerging technologies. Developments like the expansion of our Dongguan lab, demonstrate our commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation, providing customers with valuable ‘insider’ know-how and hands-on expertise, and acting as the glue that brings technology ecosystems together,” said Holger Kunz, president of worldwide services for Granite River Labs.
