WiFi & Bluetooth Wireless Testing Services

Stancer Testing-Lab provides WiFi, Bluetooth, and wireless RF testing services for manufacturers developing connected and radio-enabled products for North American and international markets. Our laboratory supports regulatory testing and RF measurements for WiFi, Bluetooth Classic, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), dual-band and multi-radio devices, IoT products, and other wireless technologies.

Testing can support applicable FCC and ISED requirements as well as European regulatory requirements, depending on the product, frequency band, technology, and certification pathway. For broader radio-device programs, see our RF Testing and Wireless Device Compliance Testing services.

WiFi Testing

• 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax protocol testing
• 2.4 GHz — FCC Part 15C testing using ANSI C63.10 and ETSI EN 300 328.
• 5 GHz — FCC Part 15E testing using ANSI C63.10.
• 6 GHz / WiFi 6E — FCC Part 15E and ISED RSS-248.
• Dual-band and tri-band devices
• MIMO and beamforming evaluation at maximum power.
• DFS 5 GHz U-NII-2A/U-NII-2C requirements can be addressed through an appropriate testing pathway when applicable.

Bluetooth Testing

• Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR) — all power classes.
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) — all channels.
• Bluetooth 4.x and 5.x devices.
• Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) verification.
• Power class and maximum EIRP verification.
• WiFi/Bluetooth coexistence considerations for combination products.

RF Measurements

Stancer supports RF measurements applicable to WiFi, Bluetooth, and other wireless transmitters, including:

• Conducted output power
• EIRP — Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power.
• Power spectral density (PSD)
• Occupied bandwidth using the 99% method.
• Spurious and harmonic emissions
• Band-edge emissions
• Frequency accuracy and stability

Standards for WiFi & Bluetooth Testing

5 GHz European WiFi

For European 5 GHz RLAN products, ETSI EN 301 893 may apply for demonstrating conformity with the radio spectrum requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive. Testing should be performed under an appropriate accredited scope when accreditation is required for the applicable conformity pathway.

Supporting Compliance Services

WiFi and Bluetooth products frequently require more than RF transmitter measurements alone. Depending on the product and intended markets, Stancer can support manufacturers with FCC Part 15 Testing, ISED compliance, EMC testing, pre-compliance evaluation, and global market access planning.
