Leading Equipment Provider Delivers Optimized Cellular and
Connectivity Test Systems for the Production of Innovative New
Smartphones
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
LitePoint,
a leading provider of wireless test solutions, announced today that ZTE
Corporation has adopted LitePoint’s cellular
and connectivity test solutions for calibrating and verifying their
latest 4G smartphones in production.
Gary Wang, general manager of LitePoint China, said, “ZTE required a
complete solution to test their new LTE smartphones. This includes not
only the latest in cellular testing for 4G, but complete coverage for
legacy 3G and 2G standards as well. To assure a high quality user
experience, they wanted technologies that could test all of the
connectivity standards in the phone, including the new high-bandwidth
Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ac. To address expanding customer demand for ZTE’s
products, high-volume test throughput was a must. So we delivered a
high-efficiency smartphone test platform consisting of the LitePoint® IQxstream®
cellular tester combined with LitePoint’s®
IQxel-M™ connectivity tester to cover the full range of their
smartphone wireless standards.”
The combination of the IQxstream
and IQxel-M gives ZTE a flexible and high-performance platform to
address today’s and tomorrow’s wireless technologies. It also allows ZTE
to optimize yield, load-balance their production lines and minimize
their total cost-of-test allowing continued success in LTE. With the
launch of new LTE multiband smartphones in 2014, ZTE forecasts that 4G
devices will account for 40% of total terminals shipments in 2014.
Benefiting from the availability of new innovative products and
cooperation with partners, ZTE expects to continue their strong
performance, especially in the smart handset market.
LitePoint is an industry pioneer in non-signaling, multi-device,
parallel testing for cellular production, revolutionizing cellular test

market leader in the delivery of highly innovative test solutions for
