Grab a cup of tea and settle in for a great conversation on how IoT is making a real difference today. From smarter water management to boosting operational efficiency, asset tracking, wearables, and other cool innovations, we’re finally seeing the promise of IoT come to life.
Helps ensure the device meets key technical and quality requirements for performance and stability.
Devices will interoperate seamlessly to the Telstra IoT Network.
Device/Network interoperability issues identified and addressed at the root cause.
Testing helps ensure devices maintain network interoperability, now and into the future.
Telstra IoT/M2M device interoperability testing is a cellular network certification and validation process carried out on cellular IoT/M2M devices to ensure that they are interoperable with Telstra’s mobile network. Telstra strongly recommends module and device manufacturers certify their IoT/M2M devices on Telstra network to ensure optimum network performance.
Testing is the only way to determine that IoT/M2M devices meet the Telstra’s technical and quality requirements for performance and stability. We also check that the devices have the appropriate regulatory documentation. The testing process will focus on interoperability of the IoT/M2M device on the Telstra mobile network.
Telstra has invested and setup a Mobile Innovation Lab based in Sydney to conduct device testing. IoT/M2M Device manufacturers are responsible for working with Telstra directly to complete device testing activities.
Yes. Costs are detailed in the Device Testing and Certification Agreement and are paid by the IoT/M2M device manufacturer who is seeking to obtain certification for the device. Manufacturers are encouraged to use Telstra approved modules to reduce testing time and costs related to devices with non-certified modules.

Once all the pre-requisites have been met, device will be scheduled for testing. Based on whether the device integrates a module that is already Telstra certified or not, the duration of the certification process varies. Once a device has begun testing, the typical duration for testing devices integrating an approved module are 2-4 weeks and 6-8 weeks for devices with a non-certified module. This is subject to the defects identified during the testing period.
Yes, Telstra publishes a Wireless Developer and Application Guideline (PDF document) that provides an overview of how to best develop an application that works efficiently on the Telstra mobile network.
