Global testing service provider TUV Rheinland is expanding its global involvement in the field of wireless communication technologies by acquiring 4ffCom. The telecommunications company is based in Bochum and specializes in wireless testing services for industrial companies and companies in various sectors, such as entertainment electronics, the automotive sector and medicine. In addition, the company also develops its own test systems in the area of mobile and short-range wireless communications.

"With the integration of 4ffCom, we are now able to offer our customers their own fully automated testing solutions, also known as comprehensive testing environments (CTE). Furthermore, these solutions can be easily tailored to the needs of the product manufacturer concerned. This new option allows us to offer tailored CTE systems and highlights our customer focus while strengthening our position in the global IoT market in the long run," explained Stefan Kischka, Vice President Wireless/Internet of Things at TUV Rheinland.

And for the founders of 4ffCom, the integration is a key chapter in the company's history: "We are absolutely delighted to be part of TUV Rheinland now and to be able to contribute our many years of experience and expertise at this significant and global company. Together, we can give our customers a lot more added value," said Andreas Renz, co-founder of 4ffCom and Director of Global Business Development and Innovation Wireless/Internet of Things at TUV Rheinland.
