SGS Taiwan One of the First Labs Authorized to Issue 5G Data Throughput Test Reports!

Amid the rapid wave of global 5G development, high-speed and low-latency connectivity have become critical competitive advantages for wireless communication products. SGS has officially announced that it has obtained the 3GPP TR 37.901-5 verification qualification and received TAF ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. This establishes SGS as one of the first independent third-party laboratories in Taiwan capable of issuing 5G Data Throughput test reports that comply with the PTCRB PVG.09 standard.

 

Why Data Throughput Testing is Crucial in the 5G Era

Unlike previous mobile communication generations, 5G devices must maintain high-speed transmission and stable connections across a diverse range of scenarios—including indoor/outdoor environments, high mobility, and high-density usage. Data throughput directly impacts the user experience for bandwidth-heavy applications such as 4K streaming and AR/VR. Consequently, the 3GPP TR 37.901-5 technical specification validates device throughput under complex wireless conditions. This testing is not merely a hardware performance evaluation; it is vital for international network access qualification.

 

SGS Takes the Lead in Securing Verification Qualification in Taiwan

By acquiring the 3GPP TR 37.901-5 verification qualification, SGS possesses testing capabilities fully aligned with international standards, allowing it to meet PTCRB requirements and issue official reports. Securing this qualification is highly significant for Taiwan's networking and terminal device manufacturers:

• No Overseas Shipping Required: Eliminates the need to send products to foreign labs, reducing validation timelines and costs.
• Guaranteed Compliance & International Recognition: Accelerates product entry into global markets.
• Localized Technical Support & Resources: Provides real-time technical assistance, minimizing communication gaps.

 

What Performance Metrics Are Covered in the Testing Scope?

According to PTCRB PVG.09, laboratories must simulate the maximum theoretical NR channel bandwidth throughput. This calculation is based on determined Transport Block Size (TBS) values per slot to evaluate:

(a) TDD Downlink Theoretical Maximum Throughput

• Bandwidth: 100 MHz (as an example)
• SCS: 30 kHz
• Modulation: 256 QAM
• Number of MIMO layers: 4

(b) FDD Downlink Theoretical Maximum Throughput

• Bandwidth: 20 MHz (as an example)
• SCS: 15 kHz
• Modulation: 256 QAM
• Number of MIMO layers: 4

These tests provide early insights into a device's throughput performance under actual 5G networks, mitigating the risk of late-stage product modifications.
