A device maker’s aggressive release calendar was only as strong as the certification behind it, and every launch had to clear the entire Canadian telecom ecosystem without slipping.
“An aggressive release calendar is only as strong as the certification behind it.”
The device manufacturer needed to maintain an aggressive Canadian release strategy without sacrificing performance or quality. Every device had to be seamlessly supported across the Canadian telecom ecosystem, including new and upcoming service technologies.
With the goal of ensuring device quality and performance across all Canadian Tier-1 operators, ML arteka leveraged expertise in Device Certification, Field Network, Live Production, and R&D Lab, and a long history with Tier-1 operator specifications across VoLTE and VoWiFi, to build a turnkey solution. Working directly with the manufacturer’s R&D teams, the team provided immediate root cause analysis and actionable recommendations.
The result: two flagship devices released across all Canadian Tier-1 operators and their sub-brands ahead of schedule, plus a further launch with another operator in Montreal.
