Element Expands Connected Technologies Facility in the US
Element Materials Technology (Element) has opened a center of excellence for its connected technologies business in Maryland, US to support its ambitious growth plans in the sector.
The new laboratory in Columbia, MD represents a significant milestone in bringing Element’s expertise and technology to customers worldwide, growing its headcount and the business as a result of its expanded footprint. The new facility brings Element’s total footprint to over 65,000 sq.ft of space and 130 dedicated experts, and adds extensive electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and radio frequency (RF) testing capabilities for regulatory compliance; safety testing against normal and misuse conditions; protocol testing; and over-the-air (OTA) antenna performance testing. Through co-location with its existing Columbia facility, Element has increased efficiency for its customers and further expanded its OTA and EMC services.
