USB4® Host IC Attains Key USB4® Certification Milestone with GRL

The next generation of high-speed data transfer and power delivery solutions has arrived.

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 successfully assisted a fourth Host IC vendor to achieve certification. This milestone will enable more devices to enjoy the fast data transfer, power transfer and seamless connectivity of USB4®. Previously having assisted three major chip vendors and multiple Host ICs to achieve USB4® certification, GRL continues to collaborate with Device IC vendors in their endeavors to achieve USB4 Device IC certification and ensure quality USB4-related ICs in the marketplace as well as supply chain stability.

The newly certified USB4® Host IC ensures that devices utilizing this technology can achieve faster data transfer speeds, higher power efficiency, and compatibility with a wider range of devices, while still maintaining backward compatibility with older versions of USB. As the USB4® standard continues to expand, GRL remains committed to providing the industry's most advanced services to support the rapid adoption of new technologies in today's connected world.

Vamshi Kandalla, GRL's Chief Strategy Officer, applauded the achievement, “This milestone reaffirms GRL's commitment to innovation in the USB4® ecosystem.
