Australian operator Telstra certification and testing process
1、 Introducing Telstra
Established in 1975, Telstra is one of the largest telecommunications companies in Australia. Telstra provides a wide range of telecommunications and communication services, covering fields such as mobile communication, fixed telephone, broadband internet, cloud computing, data communication, network solutions, and digital media.
2、 Telstra Information to Pay Attention to
Starting from December 2018, Telstra no longer accepts only 3G devices to join the IOT/M2M certification program. Telstra‘s 3G WCDMA network will be shut down in June 2024, and Telstra requires all new IOT/M2M cellular devices to support 4G-LTE or 5G and VoLTE. Telstra‘s 4G devices require coverage of the main two frequency bands they use.
3、 Why Telstra certification is required
Telstra IOT/M2M equipment interoperability test is a cellular network authentication and verification process conducted on the IOT/M2M equipment to ensure their interoperability with Telstra‘s mobile network, test whether the IoT/M2M equipment meets Telstra‘s technical and quality requirements for performance and stability, and check whether the equipment has appropriate regulatory documents. In practice, we encounter Telstra requiring module and device manufacturers to certify their IoT/M2M devices on the Telstra network to ensure optimal network performance.
4、 What technologies does Telstra support?
(1) 4G LTE
(2) 5G mMTC
LTE-M
NB IOT
(3) 5G NR
5、 Time required for testing
When all prerequisites are met, the device will be scheduled for testing, and the duration of the authentication process may vary depending on whether the device integrates modules that have already passed Telstra certification.
(1) For devices that integrate approved modules, testing typically takes 2-4 weeks.
(2) For devices using uncertified modules, the testing time is 6-8 weeks.
These depend on the defect situation discovered during testing.
6、 Telstra‘s certification process
(1) Submit the required documents. For details of the file list, please consult Deeplight Technology;
(2) Equipment manufacturers that require certification exchange required documents;
(3) Review the provided documents and make further requirements;
(4) After the device passes the test, it will be certified, and Telstra will provide a logo stating that it has been certified for use on the Telstra network;
(5) Any updates to device hardware or software must be notified to Telstra, who will reassess these changes and determine whether to re certify;
The above is part of the testing and certification process for Telstra, an Australian operator. For detailed information, please consult Deeplight Technology. We will provide you with a complete set of certification services and different testing plans.
