Spreadtrum to Use Verigy's Solution for Testing Wireless Devices

(Business News & Technology News, 24 Jul 2008)

Spreadtrum Communications Inc., one of China's leading wireless baseband chipset providers, has selected the Verigy's Port Scale RF solution for production testing of its devices in Suzhou, China. After evaluating multiple competitive solutions, Spreadtrum chose Port Scale RF for its high-throughput and multi-site test capability which deliver lower cost-of-test (COT), higher performance results, and superior test stability. Since adopting Port Scale RF, Spreadtrum has lowered its cost-of-test for a high-volume RF device over the incumbent solution by about 50 percent.

Spreadtrum develops a range of highly integrated baseband processors with robust multimedia functionality and power management for mobile wireless products. Port Scale RF is effective for testing the full range of RF devices, from low-integration chips such as RF transceivers, to the latest high-integration single-chip devices for next-generation wireless standards. This gives Spreadtrum flexibility as they implement their RF device roadmap, with performance that covers both next generation technologies and varying levels of integration. This is achieved in conjunction with faster test times and higher parallelism, which support the dramatically lower cost-of-test.
