Spirent to leverage more than a decade of
device testing in support of certification for latest Alexa
Built-in products globally
Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), a leading provider of
test, assurance, and analytics solutions for next-generation
devices and networks, today announced that it has been approved by
Amazon as an Authorized Test Lab for Alexa Built-in devices. As an
Authorized Test Lab, Spirent will work directly with manufacturers
at its state-of-the-art lab facility in Maryland, USA to provide a
range of audio and acoustic test services for Alexa Built-in
products seeking certification from Amazon.
The Spirent Performance Center features four automation-enabled
labs that focus on quality of experience testing. One of these labs
is specially equipped to test and assure Alexa Built-in products
meet performance requirements across acoustics, music, functional
and user (UX) experiences. Examples of testing that Spirent
performs in support of Alexa Voice Service requirements include
functional testing, near-field and far-field testing, wake word
detection delay testing and manual subject testing, with the
ability to add additional tests as needed. Devices that pass these
tests will receive certification test results in the form of Alexa
Qualification Tool (AQT) reports.
“As one of just a handful of Authorized Test Labs for Alexa
around the world, we are eager to put our vast connected smart
device testing experience to work in support of the many emerging
innovations coming to market,” said Rob VanBrunt, General Manager
of Spirent’s Connected Devices business. “Spirent’s Performance
Center is a world-class facility that is already a leader in
evaluating the communications performance of voice, video and data
devices, ensuring a seamless experience for developers of Alexa
Built-in devices as they pursue certification and reduce time to
market.”
Spirent brings more than a decade of expertise supporting the
successful launch of over 1,500 connected smart devices to its work
with Amazon. The company’s device testing teams are trusted by
manufacturers around the world, from independent players to
globally recognized market leaders. These customers have not only
sought the company’s unique testing services, but its guidance on
determining issues impacting performance and a path to
resolution.
Alexa is available on more than 100 million devices from Amazon
and third-party device manufacturers. With Alexa, device
manufacturers can build natural voice experiences that offer
customers a more intuitive way to interact with the technology they
use every day. Amazon offers a collection of tools, APIs, reference
solutions and documentation to make it easier to build for Alexa,
and new devices can now be submitted by developers direct to
Spirent for testing and certification.
