IoT Network Certified™ Program

IoT Network Certified is a custom certification program for cellular-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The program has been crafted to meet the specific needs of the IoT community. It simplifies and streamlines the process of certifying an IoT device according to industry standards for excellence, providing an efficient and affordable pathway for manufacturers.

By designing a device around a certified wireless module, a manufacturer may certify their IoT device using a process that takes advantage of the rigorous testing and certification already done on the module. Hundreds of modules are available to choose from.

IoT Network Certified for Smart Connected Infrastructure™ provides confidence that devices will perform as expected in critical infrastructure applications. In addition to the standard requirements to achieve IoT Network Certified recognition, additional testing is conducted, which is tailored to the unique and demanding needs of this environment.
