Services include porting older standards onto new 5G tri-mode platforms and managing the entire certification process, such as GCF/PTCRB, LAB, and NV-IOT. They also develop hardware and software development kits (HDKs/SDKs) for OEMs.

How is modem software maintenance managed for existing platforms?

Platform software maintenance involves complete board support, L1 firmware ownership, and management of protocol stack and customer interface layers. The process includes implementing feature enhancements for 3GPP change requests and bug fixing. Additionally, engineering teams use automated test methods to improve validation and ensure continuous productization support for existing modem platforms.

What certifications are covered during the modem testing process?

The testing process covers essential industry certifications including GCF, PTCRB, LAB, NV-IOT, and Operator LAB testing. It also includes field testing and pre-certification activities to ensure device compliance with global standards. Managing these certifications is critical for launching new devices in competitive international markets.

What are derivative platform services in modem development?

Derivative platform services involve adapting a main software platform to address adjacent segments through new feature additions. This includes creating specific reference designs for customer demonstrations and certifications. By providing tailored Hardware and Software Development Kits, these services allow manufacturers to efficiently expand their product portfolios while maintaining a stable underlying technology base.

What hardware and software tools are provided to OEMs?

Sasken provides Primary and Derivative Hardware Reference Designs along with comprehensive Hardware and Software Development Kits (HDKs/SDKs). These tools are designed for product validation, development environment testing, and customer demonstrations. By offering these resources, they enable Original Equipment Manufacturers to streamline the development cycle and ensure their modem-based products meet technical requirements.
