The MulteFire Alliance is an independent, diverse, and international member-driven consortium defining and promoting MulteFire – a cellular-based technology for operating in unlicensed and shared spectrum. Its members include Nokia, Qualcomm, Intel and so on.
MulteFire Alliance announced the launch of its MulteFire 1.9 GHz Certification Program in 2019. The certification program will ensure that MulteFire devices are interoperable and conform to the MulteFire 1.1 specification. The MulteFire 1.9 GHz Certification Program will test eNodeB devices in the 1.9 GHz band in Japan, verifying that devices in this channel can effectively interoperate and communicate via LTE.
"Being the first Authorized Test Lab (ATL) of MulteFire Alliance enhances our position as a leading provider of test services for private LTE," commented Fernando E.

"DEKRA will continue strengthening the presence in Japan to ensure we will be the global partner for a safe world," said Miguel Delorme, Representative Director of DEKRA Certification Japan.
The Certification Program is open to MulteFire Alliance members and their devices that pass certification may use the "MulteFire Certified" logo and certification mark. This certification gives end users confidence that MulteFire devices bearing the certified logo have passed rigorous interoperability testing.
