IMST is a LoRa-Alliance® authorised test house

The LoRaWAN® Certification Program provides assurance to end customers that their application-specific end devices will operate on any LoRaWAN® network. The scope of the Certification Program confirms that the end device meets the functional requirements of the LoRaWAN® protocol specification. The program includes a suite of tests that are specified in the LoRa Alliance® End Device Certification Requirements document.

Device manufacturers must be a member of the LoRa Alliance® to be LoRa-Certified and must use one of the accredited LoRa® Certification Test Houses to do the functional protocol testing. Upon completion of the tests, the results will be listed on the LoRa Alliance® website, and upon compliance a LoRa® Certification certificate will be issued by the LoRa Alliance®.
