We've certified more than 1,000 wireless specialty consumer and M2M devices for use on our mobile broadband network. The target timeline for certification is four weeks, though in some cases it can be as little as two weeks.


AT&T's NRL promotes the company's continued commitment to driving wireless into a wide variety of next generation devices. Will yours be next?

For developers who are creating a wirelessly connected, next-generation device, it can be a tremendous challenge to refine your device design while optimizing your component options and validating your OS and chipset selections. Complex coordination is required with all of the various ecosystem players to develop a world class end-to-end solution. AT&T's Emerging Devices Organization is uniquely positioned to serve as the common thread—to promote cooperation and help bring innovative devices to market. Here are some of the key links in the developer value chain, along with related companies whose expertise may add value to your development effort.

AT&T Approved Vendor Labs (AVLs) work with device vendors by helping them determine the best initial test strategies and understanding the minimum requirements that AT&T expects for lab entry. The AVL can assist with controlling R&D and acceptance costs and help to save time to carrier acceptance. AVLs provide device validation services that offer organizations the benefits of device testing and quality assurance procedures.

Original Device Manufacturers (ODMs) offer innovative design production services. They will bring your product ideas to life with their design-to-cost methodology and wireless solutions manufacturing services. Discover more about their complete supply chain and product-life-cycle management services to meet competitive market requirements. ODMs can offer lean, fast, and reliable manufacturing capabilities with an emphasis on innovation.
