Why Three Locations?
Southern California is home to one of the highest concentrations of electronics manufacturers in the United States — aerospace, medical devices, consumer electronics, wireless, automotive, and industrial equipment companies are spread from San Diego to Santa Barbara. Three locations means shorter commute times for customers who want to witness testing, faster scheduling across more facilities, and the ability to accommodate large test programmes simultaneously.
📅 Fast turnaround — typically within days, not weeks. With 10 Open Area Test Sites and 7 semi-anechoic chambers across three locations, Compatible Electronics can usually schedule your product for testing within a few days of receiving it. Contact us to discuss scheduling at any location.
