Narrowband: Device Certification for Production
Any product utilizing the T-Mobile Narrowband network that is intended for commercialization will need to be certified by T-Mobile. As the OEM/Product Developer, you will have to provide device capability information to T-Mobile. This is a necessary step needed before you mass-manufacture your device.
Certification requirements include security certification, ‘Safe For Network’ testing, and PTCRB delta certification. T-Mobile will also onboard the device to its Device Management platform.
Fast path to certification
The quickest way to achieve certification is to utilize a module that has been pre-certified by T-Mobile. You can find a list of modules that have been certified and approved by T-Mobile here.
Required certifications and tests
- T-Mobile module certification.
- Product PTCRB.
- CTIA Device Security test plan.
- T-Mobile Device Management verification.
- T-Mobile ‘Safe for Network’.
The entire end-to-end certification process can take up to four to six weeks and there are additional costs involved. Please work with your assigned Twilio representative or contact us at help@twilio.com for further assistance.
