IoT Standardisation

According to Vi, this IoT lab not only assesses network performance in accordance with device requirements but also certifies solution interoperability in promoting the adoption of oneM2M standards, which have been adopted as the national standard for IoT solution design by BIS.

Broad Testing Scenarios

Vi Business, the enterprise division of Vodafone Idea, has introduced this Lab-as-a-Service initiative. It can conduct tests across 175+ scenarios, encompassing network, functional, field, application, compatibility, and oneM2M standard testing, among others.

Furthermore, Vi said it can assess 30+ diverse use cases across industries, including AMI, Connected Car, POS, VTS, and more. The lab’s capabilities extend to testing a wide range of ecosystem components, from devices and modules to SIMs, applications, firmware, and more.

To date, five devices have been certified as “network-ready,” and the lab is now expanding its testing to include 5G and NB-IoT devices, says Vi.
