One Year Anniversary of our SAR Lab!

March 2 2012

Hard to believe it, but our SAR Lab has now been open for more than a year, having opened our doors back in January of 2011. It’s been quite a year!

SAR, or Specific Absorption Rate, is a measure of radio frequency (RF) energy absorbed by the head or body on devices used closer than 20 cm such as wireless communication devices like cell phones. As adoption of these devices soars, so has demand for reliable SAR Testing. The addition of the new SAR Lab at Northwest EMC has been a natural fit with our other wireless testing services.

Ongoing improvement is a way of life for us at Northwest EMC. We’ve also been hard at work expanding our EMC test facility in Irvine, California, to include a new 3-meter chamber. The new expansion is expected to conclude in late spring 2012.
