Electronics Centre (ECH)
Electronics Centre in Halmstad (ECH) is an environment for electronics development where companies, researchers and students come together at Halmstad University to test, develop and assure the quality of future electronic products.
At ECH, there are specialised laboratories for EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), with facilities for pre-compliance testing before certification. Companies can come here to receive support from our experts with measurements and analysis, or become partners and use the laboratories on a regular basis. Together, we develop robust solutions in wireless communication and embedded systems.
Since its launch in 2015, Electronics Centre in Halmstad (ECH) has developed into a meeting place for companies, researchers, teachers and students in electronics, the Internet of Things and wireless communication. Read more about the history of ECH, key milestones and collaboration for the future of electronics.
