Founded in 2010, ART-Fi devises innovative testing solutions for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) measurement to accelerate the development of innovation in the wireless industry with high precision solutions and contributes to protect the consumer health.

As a customer-centric and health-conscious company, ART-Fi brings the wireless industry in new directions with the aim to reduce the RF exposure in daily life by improving EMF measurement methods.

In 2014, ART-Fi revolutionized the SAR testing industry as the first to offer instant and absolute SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing solutions. ART-Fi’s core business revolves around ART-MAN, a broadband system that performs direct measurements in the time domain. ART-MAN uses a powerful, patented vector probe-array technology (D-Phase) to precisely measure the phase and amplitude of the electromagnetic field absorbed by human tissue.

ART-Fi holds several patents and has patents pending applications relative to probes, vector signal analysis and broadband tissue-simulating fluids.

SAGEM Mobiles’ Quality Laboratory encountered a major difficulty in trying to reduce SAR to avoid SAR market recalls of mobile phones exceeding the limit. The aim was to reduce SAR while maintaining a high level of quality of service (connectivity, OTA performances). The measurement technology available during this period was slow, complex and expensive leading to several weeks to perform a single mobile certification!

The founder of this high level quality laboratory and three electromagnetism experts from Sagem Mobiles and French University Supélec, started the development of a fully innovative concept, to offer a brand new measurement experience to the industry. This disruptive near-field technology was identified as a strategic innovation and has leaded to a new international metrological standard: IEC 62209-3 standard.

The high level of performances of this technology called D-Phase leaded to create the ART-Fi company in 2010 with the aim to constantly secure humans to radiations by providing the highest level of accuracy as possible while maximizing the devices' transmission performances.

After several years of leading work, a new international standard has been published which including the ART-Fi approach. D-Phase technology is embedded in ART-MAN which fully complies with all the requirements of this international standard IEC 62209-3.

ART-Fi’s Metrology Team specifically focuses on the evolution of the SAR testing regulations and will remain a driving force at the international level, thus guaranteeing that ART-Fi stays on top of technology breakthroughs. Besides, ART-Fi is recognized by the Mobile Manufacturers Forum (www.mmfai.org) as a Center of Dosimetric Excellence.

ART-Fi experts are continuously publishing major scientific papers to contribute to the evolution of the state of the art in the domain.
