PSNC provides the scientific community with access to world-class IT infrastructure. As the operator of the national PIONIER network, we provide fast and secure access to the Internet and network services at the international, national, and local levels. As a supercomputing centre, we offer a wide range of computing services and access to virtual servers and cloud services while allowing for fast and scalable data management.

The GNSS laboratory allows the use of a GNSS simulator, which produces a comprehensive range of emulated RF signals with industry-leading flexibility, fidelity, performance, and reliability. It covers a full set of known constellations like GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, NavIC, and SBAS.

Our laboratory allows us to carry out analyses on grapes, must, wine, but also on the soil, and even pathogens; It makes it possible to make the link between practices in the vineyard and qualitative indicators.

The laboratory uses state-of-the-art testing platforms to simulate mechanical shocks, vibrations, drops, compressions, and and temperature and humidity variations, as well as multi-axis movement sequences. These simulations are based on real-world transport profiles and international testing standards (such as ISTA, ASTM, and ISO). Beyond standard compliance, the laboratory enables custom testing campaigns tailored to specific logistics environments, including last-mile delivery, air or sea freight, or agro-food cold chains.

The laboratory offers a wide range of ageing simulations, including thermal, mechanical, chemical, and climatic stresses, to replicate real-life or extreme use conditions. These tests are designed to evaluate material durability, detect failure mechanisms, and support predictive maintenance strategies. Our infrastructure supports both standardised testing protocols and tailor-made test campaigns, adapted to specific use cases or industrial environments.

These tests form part of the range of services for simulating environmental constraints such as mechanical, climatic, or electromagnetic compatibility.

These tests serve to assess the mechanical behaviour of products under both normal and severe operating conditions. They successfully incorporate into a comprehensive qualification and characterisation program the set of equipment ancillary to testing conducted on electromagnetic compatibility, climate, electricity, etc...

These chambers offer free-field primary and secondary calibration, directivity measurement, sound power measurement for machines, sound absorption measurement in reverberation rooms in accordance with ISO 354, and COFRAC certification for all these tests.

LNE's facilities for electromagnetic compatibility are part of the conformity assessment steps to ensure electrical, electronic, and embedded components comply with safety requirements.

For this purpose, LNE Laboratory is eager to guide you in determining the services you'll need to satisfy such requirements. The application of safety standards makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the device's means of protection. In the context of CE marking, the conformity of products with harmonised standards makes it possible to obtain a presumption of conformity with the requirements of the directives and regulations relating to these standards. To assess compliance with these standards, LNE offers testing and documentary analysis services.
