LitePoint’s IQ2010 Multicom™ Tester

Testing
Multi-Radio Devices in Manufacturing & Development
Single
devices with multiple radios and wireless standards pose a significant
challenge for manufacturing testing. Ordinarily, each standard is tested
one after another, and test times and costs balloon upward. The challenge
for you is to test multiple radios and standards in the time it now takes
you to test one or two, and that’s precisely what LitePoint’s IQ2010
is designed to do.
Before
the IQ2010, to test multi-radio devices, most manufacturers relied on
separate lines of single-radio test systems. Multi-radio devices are moved
from line to line, and inserted again and again. If one is testing four
radios and their underlying standards, it may require four lines and four
different test systems. So, equipment cost is high, and insertion-damage
risk compounds that cost.
With
LitePoint’s IQ2010, a single system, you can test six different radios
and standards. The standard model comes ready to test four popular radios
and standards – WiFi, GPS, FM and Bluetooth. But, as needs dictate, you
can add WiMAX and NFC, in the field, via a software licensing key
LitePoint’s
IQ2010 Multicom Test System attacks two key manufacturing-test obstacles:
test time and equipment costs. Your test time is affected by the length of
individual tests, and by having to do them in a series. The IQ2010
provides you with some test concurrency, which shortens overall test time,
and a technology called “sequence-based testing” or SBT, which
markedly reduces the number of communications transactions between your
tester and device-under-test (DUT). These two features can reduce test
time and test cost dramatically. And, by having a single system that does the work of four
systems, you save on equipment costs
