National Technical Systems (NTSC) Inks Agreement with RF Exposure Lab to Expand Wireless Solutions and Services

National Technical Systems Inc. (“NTS”), a leading provider of testing and engineering services for the aerospace, defense and other high-technology markets, today announced it has signed an exclusive business alliance with RF Exposure Lab LLC to provide radio frequency (RF) safety testing services at NTS’ Silicon Valley test laboratories.

These services are offered only by certified wireless labs and represent a key component to NTS’ wireless solutions portfolio. NTS said that by adding these services, the company can offer a single-source testing and certification solution for wireless device manufacturers around the world.

“The addition of these new RF safety services combined with our existing wireless testing and certifications portfolio and our in-house FCC Telecommunications Certification Body makes NTS the obvious go-to choice for wireless device manufacturers both large and small,” William McGinnis, president and CEO of NTS stated in the press release. “Adding these RF services is yet another step forward in our strategy to diversify our capabilities in line with the demand from our customers, in this case the rapidly-expanding wireless services market.”

RF is a leading provider of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing and certification services, which are required by the Federal Communications Commission for many types of hand-held wireless devices such as cellphones and PDAs sold in the United States. On a global scale, there are also similar regulatory requirements for these devices in most major foreign markets.

Per the agreement, RF will provide the test equipment and technical training required for NTS to provide SAR testing and certification services to its global customer base. Upon full installation, NTS estimates that annual service fees could reach as high as $1 million, which will be split equally between NTS and RF.
