Smartphones have become indispensable in people’s daily lives, especially in the last decade with technological advances and new generations of mobile networks, which have democratized communication, as well as access and information sharing.
According to data from the Statista website, in 2023, the total number of smartphone users in the world is 6.7 billion, which means that almost 86% of the world’s population owns a device. And the trend is for this growth to continue, with 1,594 million new smartphones expected to be sold in 2023, according to projections by the SellCell website, which demonstrates the potential of this market.
Before reaching the hands of consumers, smartphones go through several stages of development in order to ensure quality, performance and safety for users, attending the requirements of manufacturers, regulatory bodies and mobile operators around the world.
At Instituto ELDORADO, we work throughout the product development life cycle, including component integrations, complete validations and customizations/configurations, from the initial conception of products to market launch and software updates in production.
The Integration and Testing Management area (GIT) is made up of multidisciplinary teams from the Campinas (SP), Manaus (AM) and Porto Alegre (RS) units, which are responsible for the entire SW and HW integration process of devices on a global scale, besides to various types of tests and simulations during their development, including: functional and non-functional tests, component and stability tests, 4G/5G network simulations, RF tests, adherence to communication protocols, battery life, temperature and performance monitoring, among many other cases, in products from world-renowned laboratories.
