Full Scale

Devices deployed or modeled at full scale.

A full scale device is a device deployed or modeled at the scale at which it would be developed commercially. While modeling and scale devices are often used during early stages of research and development, deployment of a full scale device is typically required to understand its performance in a real-world scenario.
