Certification Programs
With the intention of creating confidence among customers and facilitating interoperability across multi-vendor networks, the UNH-IOL has partnered with several industry forums to create certification programs. Testing plays a large part in these certification programs, and the use of independent third-party test houses, like us, is key to their success. We do not certify devices, rather we supply unbiased information these certification programs need to accurately certify devices

Time Sensitive Networks
Time Sensitive Network (TSN) standards enable deterministic real-time communication over Ethernet, allowing solutions to be built to provide extremely precise, predictable timing and control across the network. By adding features to Ethernet such as time synchronization, ingress policing, seamless redundancy, frame preemption, scheduled traffic, and stream reservation, TSN ensures data is not delayed by the network.

NVMe Testing Software
IOL INTERACT™
IOL INTERACT™ software expedites and automates the testing of NVMe SSDs and NVMe-oF products. It is used to test products for inclusion on the NVMe Integrator's List. Members of the UNH-IOL NVMe Testing Services are entitled to a copy of INTERACT™ for in-house testing to ensure that their products will meet the Integrator's list requirements when submitted for testing. While most test requirements can be performed with the PC edition tool, a subset of tests specific to PCIe products are only available on the Teledyne-LeCroy tool, which require low level traffic generation capability.

Ethernet Test Fixtures & Software
We have developed a series of custom testing tools as part of our dedication to performing the most comprehensive Ethernet testing in the industry. These tools allow for testing at lower layers than most commercially available tools and are available for use in your own testing labs. In addition, we have an extensive amount of T&M partner test tools which members of our Ethernet testing services also have access to.

QualiPhyer Tools
QualiPhyer is a family of software packages used to test a product’s conformance to IEEE 802.3™ and MIPI Alliance electrical and optical standards for Ethernet and MIPI devices. These packages can be used to control oscilloscopes and traffic generators over Ethernet or GPIB connections to test the physical layer characteristics of devices. The software processes waveforms from the scopes to produce results based on algorithms developed at the UNH-IOL.
