TII Unveils the Arab World’s First Electromagnetic Compatibility Labs

TII · Mar 17

Technology Innovation Institute (TII) has launched Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) laboratories in Abu Dhabi, the first such facility in the Arab world. The facility at TII's Directed Energy Research Center (DERC) includes three labs: an EMC semi-anechoic chamber, a pulsed power laboratory, and a low-noise emanation laboratory. These labs will enable evaluation of technologies against electromagnetic interference and support in-country R&D and local industry in line with UAE's 'Operation 300bn'. Why it matters: This advanced infrastructure signals the UAE's commitment to fostering innovation in electronics and related sectors, reducing reliance on foreign testing and certification.

World of Makers, from the Idea to the Prototype
