Sea container OTA platforms

Mobile OTA test chamber: Portable OTA Chambers for Flexible Testing

Orbis Systems provides and designs sea container–based OTA solutions that merge portability with the precision of a shielded test environment. Each solution is constructed within a fully RF-shielded shipping container outfitted with absorbers, enabling reliable sub-6 GHz and mmWave testing.

By converting a container into a mobile OTA chamber, customers gain the freedom to perform high-quality wireless measurements either in the field or as an extension of their existing lab infrastructure.

Key Technical Highlights

These compact OTA test chambers are engineered to meet demanding RF test requirements while maintaining mobility and cost efficiency:

  • Integrated RF absorbers for stable and predictable measurement conditions
  • Multi-axis, programmable DUT and antenna positioners (tilt and rotation)
  • Integrated signal generation and measurement capability for Sub-6 GHz testing
  • Upgradeable with mm Wave probe antennas and extension modules for FR2 (20–40 GHz) coverage
  • Remote management and automation via REST API, with optional SCPI/LabVIEW support
  • Configurable DUT fixtures for accurate and repeatable test setups

Why Choose a Mobile OTA Chamber?

Traditional fixed OTA facilities require time-intensive installation and infrastructure. Orbis
  • Systems’ containerized OTA platforms provide:
  • Fast deployment at customer sites, test fields, or trial points
  • Reduced test cycle times and infrastructure costs
  • Flexibility to scale testing between R&D and production environments
  • Consistent performance without sacrificing shielding or accuracy

Proven Applications Across Industries

Orbis Systems’ mobile OTA platforms are trusted by telecom operators, OEMs, IoT developers, and aerospace companies. From beamforming verification to multi-DUT production testing, these chambers provide the accuracy and repeatability needed for advanced R&D as well as volume manufacturing readiness.

A sea container OTA chamber transforms a standard shipping container into a fully RF-shielded wireless testing environment, enabling precise, lab-grade over-the-air (OTA) measurements wherever you need them. It eliminates the need for permanent infrastructure, offering a flexible, mobile solution that brings reliable testing capabilities directly to your site without compromising on accuracy or performance.

Anyone whose testing needs to move. Telecom operators, OEMs, IoT developers, and aerospace companies use portable OTA chambers to run accurate wireless tests at field sites, customer locations, or production floors on their schedule, not the lab's.

Yes. A quality mobile OTA test chamber delivers consistent RF shielding, repeatable positioning, and full Sub-6 GHz and mmWave coverage same accuracy as a fixed lab, without the heavy infrastructure.

Very fast. It arrives pre-integrated with absorbers, positioners, and automation software already installed. Drop it, connect it, start testing no lengthy setup, no surprises.

Absolutely. A portable OTA chamber scales from early-stage R&D all the way to high-volume production qualification, one investment that covers every stage of your product journey.
