Certification by a CTIA Authorized Test Lab (CATL) is required for all companies and hardware developers seeking to connect a device on a nationwide cellular network. BluFlux is the only CATL in the greater Rocky Mountain region.

"CTIA's rigorous certification validates the mission of BluFlux: to provide, under one roof, the design and test/certification expertise to help companies bring a wireless product from PCB-layout concept phase all the way to network carrier certification," said Ben Wilmhoff, president and founder of BluFlux. "Colorado and the greater Rocky Mountain region are quickly becoming a hub for companies building M2M, Internet of Things and wearable mobile devices, and we're excited to be the only CTIA-certified lab to serve the growing Front Range wireless ecosystem."

With CTIA certification, BluFlux anticipates a rapid increase in OTA tests taking place at its facility. The company rents its anechoic testing chamber and welcomes client engineers on-site to test their devices with support and consultation from BluFlux engineers, if desired.
