LitePoint enables Quantenna to get next generation 802.11ac chipset
into volume production
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
LitePoint,
a leading provider of wireless test solutions, announced that Quantenna
Communications has chosen LitePoint’s IQxel-MW for calibration and
verification of Quantenna’s new 802.11ac Wave 3 chipsets. Their
customers now can quickly and easily achieve improved wireless
performance on the QSR10G
chipset platform by calibrating and verifying chip performance with
LitePoint’s IQxel-MW
test system with IQfact+
test software. This powerful combination enables fast manufacturing
product ramps … avoiding lengthy test development and debugging cycles.
The IQxel-MW
is the newest member of LitePoint’s industry-leading IQxel
family of test systems. The IQxel-MW is designed to meet the
demanding performance needs of the latest version of the 802.11ac
Wi-Fi standard, plus the upcoming 802.11ax standard. Quantenna chose
the IQxel-MW for its 8x8 MIMO capabilities and performance to cover the
latest requirements of their 802.11ac Wave 3 product family.
“Consumers are in a constant search for stronger and more stable
connections for their Wi-Fi enabled devices. 802.11ac and 802.11ax will
enable a huge improvement on both fronts. If you’ve been in an airport,
café, or other setting where you’re showing a strong Wi-Fi signal, but
can’t get or hold a stable Wi-Fi connection, these advances will make
those frustrations a thing of the past. We’re very excited to be working
with Quantenna on these new innovations in wireless,” said Brad Robbins,
President of LitePoint.
Quantenna Communications, a leading provider of Wi-Fi chipset solutions,
recommends the IQxel-MW to their customers for calibrating and verifying
the Quantenna 10G Wave 3 Wi-Fi family of chipsets. “We have been working
with LitePoint for many years on their IQfact+ software solutions that
enable LitePoint testers to perform tests on Quantenna chipsets right
out of the box— no programming required. We are often first to market
with new technologies like 4x4 802.11ac and 8x8 802.11ac. Time to market
is vital to our customers. Having the IQxel-MW ready to go when our new
solutions came out was critical,” said Dr. Sam Heidari, CEO of Quantenna.
Robbins added, “The IQxel-MW is the next generation of our
industry-leading IQxel connectivity tester that enables our customers to
get the world’s most advanced wireless technology into consumers’
hands…fast. Product feature differentiation only lasts for a very short
period of time in consumer electronics. It’s critical that companies
also differentiate with quality — ensuring that their products work
exactly as consumers expect…every time. That is what the IQxel-MW
delivers for our customers.”
