China Telecom Corporation Test labs (GSTA) in Guangzhou, China has selected the T3111S NFC Conformance System from Keysight Technologies for near-field communications (NFC) device acceptance test.
The T3111S is a compact and flexible tool that helps engineers gain insight into NFC performance through RF and Protocol measurements. Additionally, the system provides standard test suites and the widest test coverage required by NFC Forum, EMV L1 and ISO test specifications. Furthermore, T3111S was the first test system to complete validation of all NFC Forum required certification tests including Digital Protocol, Analog, LLCP and SNEP and it was also the first test system used in the NFC Forum Certification Program. The T3111S is a key tool in many R&D centers and test labs worldwide for NFC devices design, evaluation and acceptance test.
In 2015, with the 4G and mobile internet market growing, China Telecom is continuing to invest in NFC enabled devices for its mobile payment service. However, NFC brings new test and validation challenges by the traditional telecom operators.
The development of mobile NFC payment systems creates significant security and interoperability challenges. FIME, a Keysight partner and a world leader in secure payment testing, provides a comprehensive secure payment testing solution for EMV Level 1 RF and NFC testing based on the Keysight Technologies T3111S NFC Conformance Test System.
