Following Taipei, the lab becomes the 2nd GRL facility to offer product certification testing for Thunderbolt™ 5 and earlier generations.

Granite River Labs (“GRL”), a global leader in engineering services, automated test solutions for digital connectivity and charging technologies, and professional market access services, has officially begun offering product certification testing services for Thunderbolt™ 5 Host and Device at its Dongguan facility. Host and Device manufacturers can now access comprehensive certification, pre-certification, and debugging services provided by leading design and engineering experts.

GRL Dongguan was approved for Host and Device Thunderbolt™ 3 and 4 certification testing in July 2023. GRL's rapid approval for Thunderbolt™ 5 within a year of the high-speed transmission specification's release in September 2023 was made possible through close collaborations between the local team and Intel® IDC, reaffirming the organization's commitment towards expanding the Thunderbolt™ specification.

Thunderbolt™ 5 supports up to three times greater bandwidth than preceding solutions, featuring a bi-directional bandwidth of 80 gigabits per second (Gbps) designed to enhance the user experience of gamers, content creators, and professionals.

"We are excited to support the rapidly developing world of data transmission and power delivery through our comprehensive Thunderbolt™ 5 testing services," said Winson Mok, Lab Manager of GRL China. "Our customers can look forward to reliable services from our technical experts who will support their Thunderbolt™ product design and development from end-to-end."
