Instruments used to measure and generate high frequency signals can be calibrated here in Brazil, with national and international recognition and guaranteed traceability to major reference laboratories. Using trained personnel and equipment of the highest quality, we are qualified to provide excellent services at a comparable price. Our combination reliability and appropriate prices and deadlines makes us the right choice for the calibration of your broadcasting equipment.
LABELO takes pride in its status as a Brazilian benchmark in the dissemination of high frequency, or radio frequency, measurements of up to 26.5GHz. Our credibility, pioneerism and technical qualification combined with the availability of modern measuring equipment enable traceability to international standards.
The laboratory was founded in 1993, in partnership with the German company Wandel & Goltermann (today JDSU), driven by the need to calibrate equipment in the telecommunications area when this service was not available in Brazil. This created serious problems for companies since equipment had to be sent to laboratories abroad, meaning this equipment was often unavailable for use for more than 6 months.
The Radio Frequency Laboratory began operation with accreditation from CGCRE, in the second half of 1996 in a space of about 54m², with standards traceable to the German calibration DKD-K Network and a frequency range of up to 1GHz.
Since the country did not have sufficient infrastructure to maintain national standards in this area, and in order to recognize LABELO as a national benchmark laboratory, CGCRE conditioned its accreditation to a foreign institution of undisputed authority, namely the German company DKD/PTB.
In 1998, LABELO was accredited by PTB and became part of German calibration DKD-K Network up to a frequency range of 1GHz. IN 2002, this range was extended to 26.5GHz and the lab changed its name to the High Frequency Laboratory as a result.
In conjunction with its DKD accreditation, the laboratory also received RBC/CGCRE accreditation, making it the only laboratory in the country capable of calibrating telecommunications equipment with official certification by a third party.
In 2008, after analyzing market demands, the laboratory included digital communication, television and modulation services in its scope of services accredited by the qualified national institution (CGCRE), changing its name to the High Frequency and Telecommunications Laboratory.
The lab provides services to industry, cell phone and landline operators, cable TV, service providers (contractors), government and military agencies as well as other calibration laboratories, both in Brazil and around the world. Measuring capability covers a wide range – from 100Hz to 26.5GHz (check the accredited scope). We use world renowned equipment from major global manufacturers that is constantly updated to meet demands for new technologies.
