Our 10-Meter Chamber Makes the Difference
There are numerous advantages to using EMCI's 10-Meter chamber for radiated emissions testing instead of an open area test site (OATS). Our 10-meter chamber provides data that is more reliable and repeatable than you'll find at open-area facilities. Plus, full compliance emissions testing can be completed on many products in only one-half day. The result? Time- and cost-savings we are able to pass onto our clients. See EMCI's Chamber vs. OATS for more complete details.
