The comprehensive suite of automated solutions by GRL will empower OEMs to debug products according to USB4® standards.

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 received approval from the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) for its USB4 Return Loss Test Automation Software for Anritsu ShockLine™ Performance VNA (GRL-USB4RL-AN) and Keysight ENA (GRL-USB4RL-KS)

The GRL-USB4RL-AN/KS automates USB4® Return Loss testing for Peripherals, Hosts and Hubs while covering 10, 10.3125, 20, and 20.625 Gbps data rates. Additionally, impedance testing results for USB4 Version 1.0 can be easily captured to track any mismatches resulting in return loss. Accompanying these solutions are the integrated transmitter (GRL-USB4-TX) and receiver (GRL-USB4-RXA) software, which are designed within the same framework to minimize equipment calibration time and automate receiver jitter tolerance testing.

GRL Senior Director of EV & High-Volume Solutions, Swee Guan Chua, added, “We are honored to receive USB-IF’s approval for our highly anticipated USB4 automated solutions and look forward to collaborating with manufacturers and OEMs on their testing journey.”

President and COO of USB-IF, Jeff L. Ravencraft, also added, “We look forward to new USB4® technology innovations that will be enabled as manufacturers work closely with GRL’s expert team and USB4 test solutions.”
