Consumer Electronics
Validation for the devices people carry, wear, and watch — across wireless, audio, displays, AR/VR, power, and the real-world reliability consumer products are judged on.

Consumer electronics live in people's hands, pockets, ears, and living rooms — used constantly and judged in seconds on how they look, sound, connect, and last. A laptop, a pair of earbuds, a handheld console, or an AR headset all rise or fall on the same things: clean wireless, great audio, a crisp display, and reliability that survives real-world use.
Novus Labs validates consumer products across the full sensory and reliability experience. Our wireless and RF teams cover the radios in every device, our anechoic audio chambers characterize speakers and hearables, our AV Analysis Suite measures displays frame by frame, and our environmental and power labs prove products hold up long after they leave the shelf.
- Wireless & RF: Wi-Fi 6E / 7, Bluetooth & LE Audio, UWB, NFC, cellular
- Audio & acoustics for hearables, headphones, and speakers
- Display, visual quality, and AR/VR motion testing
- Power, charging (USB-C), and battery-life validation
- Anechoic acoustic measurement in the Audio Chambers
Where We Deliver
Three focused service lines covering the connectivity, audio, and visual experience that define a consumer device — backed by the RF and audio chambers, display tooling, and interop library to prove each one in the real world.
- Wi-Fi 6 / 6E / 7 throughput and range
- Bluetooth Classic, LE, and LE Audio
- UWB and NFC functionality
- Cellular (4G / 5G) for connected devices
- Antenna / OTA performance and coexistence
- Speaker and headphone frequency response
- Active noise cancellation (ANC) performance
- Microphone pickup and voice quality
- Bluetooth LE Audio / Auracast validation
- Distortion, loudness, and tuning
- Color, brightness, and uniformity
- Contrast, HDR, and gamma accuracy
- Refresh rate, response, and motion blur
- AR/VR motion-to-photon latency
- Frame-accurate analysis via the AV Analysis Suite
Heard the Way Customers Hear It
Audio is one of the first things a customer judges about a consumer device — and one of the hardest to measure in a normal room, where reflections, background noise, and HVAC all color the result. Earbuds, headphones, and speakers need a controlled acoustic environment to characterize honestly.
The Novus Labs anechoic audio chambers eliminate outside noise and reflections so we can measure frequency response, ANC performance, distortion, and microphone pickup with lab-grade precision — the same conditions used to tune flagship audio products before they ship.

On-Device AI, Built In
On-device intelligence has become the headline feature of modern consumer electronics — AI PCs, AI phones, smart cameras, and wearables that run vision, audio, and language models locally rather than in the cloud. Shipping those features means integrating, tuning, and testing AI across real hardware constraints.
Novus Labs provides AI integration services spanning on-device and edge inference, sensor fusion, audio and vision pipelines, and the test infrastructure to validate AI behavior across power, thermal, and latency budgets. The team that integrates the model is the same one that validates it on the device.
