NEXIO Laboratories (EMC / Radio / Near field)
Operated by experienced consultants on a one-off (daily) or integrated basis, NEXIO laboratories enable you to provide rapid answers to questions concerning :
- Comprunderstanding and characterization of EM phenomena
- Development and integration of RF functionalities
- Application ofhe 5 golden rules of EMC design
- Anticipating constraints and risks
- EMC and RADIO evaluation, tuning and pre-qualification
- Investigation and compliance
- CE marking and support for export markings (FCC, etc.)
When the assignments entrusted to us involve support through to certification, NEXIO can count on privileged partnerships with a large number of notified laboratories in the automotive, aeronautics, space, military, rail, medical, industrial, IT, multimedia & telecom sectors, etc.
Laboratoires Nexio services
We have built up a team of over 80 technicians, engineers and PhDs, capable of integrating EMC into a project approach, designing and building the product’s EMC, or validating the product’s EMC behavior.
We provide expertise and support for technological choices, design assistance, investigation, digital simulation, technical documentation, qualification…
in-cage and out-of-cage measurements to support electronic developments.
Particularly for those involving wireless links (validating antenna design, integrating and/or adjusting RF circuits, characterizing performance, etc.).

Why choose us?
Dual EMC and RADIO skills complemented by dual NORMATIVE and FUNCTIONAL skills, relevant in a context where :
- More and more electronic products incorporate RADIO functions.
- The RADIO performance targets must not compromise EMC performance
- Compromises are needed to balance functionality and standards
A powerful QCD:
- QUALITY: The right means, at the right time, meeting the right requirements
- COST : The laboratories we use enable us to charge the fairest prices
- DELAY: Another strong point of our offerthe laboratories we use ensure optimum responsiveness
A high level of service:
- des by specialized consultants testing AND design
- from realistic recommendations adapted to the project context
- a incremental approach to optimize strategy (and costs)
Webinar: 5 key steps to successful EMC certification
Key steps to successful EMC certification :
Whatever the type, size and complexity of the electronic equipment under development, EMC management is a matter of managing risks, costs and development time.
In this presentation, NEXIO consultants will share the 5 key steps for embarking on an EMC certification process with mastery and serenity.
They’ll show you why managing these constraints is much simpler than it seems, as long as you take them into account methodically from the very first hectometers of your projects.
