Consumers are always waiting to get their hands on the next big thing, and companies need reliable wireless testing to guarantee each device performs as intended in their customers’ hands. Building a reliable test strategy ensures product quality and builds the foundation of trust for businesses selling wireless devices.
In the latest 3 for 3 video, Khushboo Kalyani, Product Marketing Manager at LitePoint, discusses what UWB technology is, how it works, why it is gaining so much momentum, and what spectrum it uses for its operation.
LitePoint's Yuka Muto explores the potential of UWB technology in mission-critical applications such as keyless car entry and digital payment, and the challenges it faces in wider adoption.
Device manufacturers often use pre-certified cellular modules in their designs as a practical and easy way to add cellular connectivity. IQfactATM was developed to provide an automated test solution for reliable, high speed, and cost-effective verification of pre-certified cellular modules.
Testing and interoperability become more complex and crucial in Open RAN multi-vendor model. Isolated testing of each component is an important step in the test process. LitePoint has developed the IQFR1-RU tester, a single-box solution for testing O-RAN compliant radio units.
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is becoming a rapidly scalable and viable alternative to traditional broadband services. As 5G and Wi-Fi come together to offer wireless connectivity, the devices that enable FWA must be validated to address wireless performance from numerous angles.
LitePoint's Khushboo Kalyani and Novamint's Thierry Berisot joined Prakash Sangam, Tantra Analyst to delve into the latest updates and solutions regarding quality assurance, meeting standards and regulations, and getting devices to market faster to enable 5G at scale.
LitePoint joined a panel at the Test and Measurement Forum to discuss some of the testing challenges associated with next-generation devices, like those equipped with 5G and Wi-Fi 7, as well as communication satellites that will orbit the earth.
LitePoint's Khushboo Kalyani gave a presentation outlining some of the value propositions of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) for both the operators and consumers, and when it comes to the consumer side of the equation, the top testing considerations for FWA customer-premises equipment (CPE) the company has identified.
