Lab testing delivers certainty to your networks

We are fully committed to maintaining and expanding each engineer’s knowledge… and this means our customers benefit from solutions that are meticulously tested by these dedicated engineers who are consistently at the cutting edge of technology – and beyond.

We have invested over $1,000,000 in our equipment, and this investment provides our OSA engineers with hands-on experience and the resources to trouble-shoot customer issues … before they become expensive problems.

Our capability is your gain

Vigorous product testing means we are able to sell leading products for a particular technology. It’s a core capability and in this space, OSA stands alone.

The OSA National Testing Laboratory has been a huge benefit to our customers … and to several global companies. Engineering resources from HP/Aruba Networking, Teleste, Luxriot, Calix and Microsens have remotely connected to the OSA lab to test new product features, or to rectify bugs. The ability to connect remotely means speedy fixes and improved processes.

A decade of success … and more to come

Over the past decade, the OSA lab has been home to many project deliveries across many market verticals including…

Networking
CCTV

… and our lab has been involved with many impressive projects including:

…customers and clients will benefit from the national lab testing, despite project size and budget.

Our lab engineers’ experience, combined with the experience of the OSA sales team, allows OSA to work up the best possible solution around the parameters provided … meaning our national and international clients don’t burn money on network solutions and infrastructure that simply don’t work.

A measure of success

Our clients can always rely on us to be one step ahead of the rest and proactively look forward, rather than playing catch up to rapid changes in technology.

From concept through to the lab … configuring, documenting and testing the purchased system makes the project truly plug and play, providing a successful outcome.

We engineer cutting-edge network solutions that will continue to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations, both now and into the future.
