iPasslabs and BitifEye announce strategic partnership to deliver global ATL Services for High-Speed Digital Interfaces

Collaboration focuses on PCI Express® and MIPI A-PHY® compliance testing, delivering certified validation services to a global customer base.


iPasslabs Technology Co. Ltd. and BitifEye Digital Test Solutions GmbH have announced a strategic partnership to expand the global availability of authorized test services for high-speed digital interfaces. To meet the growing demands of AI and Smart Vehicle ecosystems worldwide, the collaboration focuses initially on PCI Express and MIPI A-PHY, with future extensions planned for USB®, IEEE/OIF, and other emerging standards.


By combining the members’ complementary expertise in test system development, automation and service delivery, the partnership offers certified testing through the companies’ global network. BitifEye, based in Germany, and iPasslabs, headquartered in Taiwan, will jointly pursue international business development and the provision of Authorized Test Laboratory (ATL) services.


“In response to the global trends in Artificial Intelligent technology, we are honored to announce this collaboration, which will overcome regional barriers and create a win-win for both parties. Through our partnership with BitifEye, we can now reach and provide PCIe testing services to a wider range of European customers. Also, by leveraging BitifEye's professional expertise and strengths, we can make iPasslabs' testing services more comprehensive to enhance the value of our company”, said Eric Shen, Co-founder and CEO of iPasslabs.


This partnership creates a strong foundation for scaling compliance test capacity to overcome previous limitations, while maintaining the highest technical standards. Customers will benefit from faster time-to-compliance, better regional accessibility – including, for the first time, in Europe – and trusted services aligned with PCI-SIG® and MIPI Alliance programs.


“This partnership with iPasslabs enables us to better serve our customers globally. The new joint test lab in Böblingen, Germany, operated by BitifEye iPasslabs Test Services Europe GmbH, and combined with iPasslabs’ Asia Pacific locations, allows us to deliver high quality testing solutions and expertise to PCI Express and MIPI A-PHY adopters around the world”, said Alexander Schmitt, CEO and co-founder of BitifEye.”


Next steps include the coordination of joint services for PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 compliance testing as well as a MIPI A-PHY Compliance Program Test Event which will be held at iPasslabs in Taipei, Taiwan, from December 8 to 12, 2025. Further service expansion is anticipated in 2026.

This week, PCI-SIG® Compliance Workshop #140 is taking place in South San Francisco, California. The workshop includes PCIe® 5.0 and PCIe® 6.x Integrators List testing, and marks the first official PCIe® 6.0 Compliance Testing, where successfully validated products will be listed on the PCI-SIG® Integrators List. As the only PCI-SIG® Authorized Test Lab (ATL) partner in Asia and Taiwan, the iPasslabs team has been actively involved throughout the entire PCIe® 6.0 development journey—from early specification discussions and PCI-SIG® Working Groups to every Pre-FYI Workshop and now the official Compliance Test Workshop. Through continuous participation in the official validation process, we have gained extensive first-hand expertise to help customers: ✅ Identify design risks early and reduce development costs ✅ Shorten validation and debugging cycles ✅ Improve first-pass success in official Compliance Testing ✅ Accelerate time-to-market If you're preparing for the next PCIe® 6.0 Compliance Testing, whether for Pre-Test, official compliance validation, debugging, or understanding the latest testing requirements, iPasslabs is ready to support you. Contact iPasslabs to help your PCIe® 6.0 products achieve compliance faster and bring them to market with confidence.

Many products in the market continue to deploy on PCIe® 5.0 platforms, while increasing attention is being placed on the validation stage to ensure product performance, credibility, and stronger market competitiveness. To help customers accelerate validation processes without being limited by time or location, iPasslabs, a PCI-SIG® Authorized Test Lab, is now expanding its official compliance capability to support PCIe® 5.0 at 32.0 GT/s. Since becoming the first PCI-SIG® Authorized Test Lab (ATL) in Asia in 2025, iPasslabs has provided official compliance testing services for PCIe® 4.0 and PCIe® 5.0 up to 16.0 GT/s. We are now further expanding our capability to support PCIe® 5.0 32.0 GT/s official compliance testing, helping customers move more smoothly from Pre-test to Official Compliance Testing.  At the same time, PCIe® 6.0 has officially entered the compliance era. Starting from PCI-SIG® Compliance Test Workshop #140, PCIe® 6.0 products are eligible to register for official compliance testing. However, before official certification, Pre-test has become more critical than ever. With the introduction of 64.0 GT/s PAM4 signaling, PCIe® 6.0 significantly increases validation complexity and much higher demands on Signal Integrity, Interoperability, and testing know-how. With extensive experience supporting customer DUTs during official compliance validation and hands-on expertise gained from on-site participation in PCI-SIG® Compliance Workshops, iPasslabs helps customers reduce development risk, improve compliance readiness, and accelerate time-to-market.
