How Pre-Certified Tablets Accelerate OEM Time-to-Market
Launching a new Android tablet for global markets is not just about hardware design.
For OEM customers, certification is often the biggest bottleneck delaying product launch.
These certifications can take 8–16 weeks or longer — and cost tens of thousands of dollars.
But what if you could skip most of that?
Why Certification Delays OEM Projects
For many OEM tablet manufacturing projects, the certification process becomes the single biggest unpredictable variable. Even a well-designed product can face months of delays due to compliance requirements.
RF testing iteration cycles
Hardware redesign after failure
Different regulatory standards per region
Lab scheduling delays
→ Each certification failure can add 4–8 weeks of redesign and retesting, pushing your product launch into the next quarter — or beyond.
What "Pre-Certified Hardware" Means
Pre-certified ≠no certification. Instead, it means the core hardware platform has already passed the most time-consuming tests.
→ You only need minor changes or regional filings — not full recertification.

Topicon Certification Advantages
At Topicon, our rugged tablet platforms are designed for OEM deployment with pre-certified compliance:
Real OEM Scenarios
Fleet Management System Integrator
Needs 500 devices for trucks. Using pre-certified tablets → launch in 6 weeks instead of 4 months.
Agricultural Vehicle OEM
Needs CAN Bus integration. Certification reused → no RF redesign, saving 10+ weeks.
When You Still Need Additional Certification
Even with pre-certified hardware, some changes require additional testing:
Major hardware changes (antenna / RF module replacement)
New wireless modules not previously certified
Country-specific requirements (e.g., BIS India, NCC Taiwan)
→ We help you evaluate and minimize these risks upfront.
