Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE:TER), the leading supplier of automatic test
equipment for microwave semiconductors, announced Cambridge Silicon
Radio (CSR) of Cambridge, England has shipped their 500 millionth
Bluetooth(R) device using Teradyne’s industry
leading ATE solutions including the Gen4 Microwave instrument. At a
celebration to mark the occasion, CSR accepted the 350th
shipment of the Teradyne(R) Gen4. CSR uses the Gen4 on its large
installed base of FLEX(TM) test systems to test their BlueCore(R)
device, the world's leading single-chip Bluetooth solution that is
ranked first in every Bluetooth market segment. CSR’s
BlueCore ICs are widely used in a variety of wireless products we turn
on everyday like mobile phones, wireless headsets and almost all new
models of laptop personal computers with Bluetooth capability.
"Since our beginning, CSR has chosen Teradyne for quality,
low-cost-of-test solutions that help us stay ahead in the field of
emerging wireless technologies,” said Patrick
McNamee, vice president of product engineering, CSR. "It
seems fitting to celebrate this significant milestone with Teradyne, the
leader in wireless device test, who has enabled us to cost effectively
test the millions of current generation wireless devices found in today’s
consumer goods. Teradyne’s wireless test
product roadmap gives us confidence that the FLEX family will continue
to offer the best economics through high-efficiency, multisite test for
the next generation of wireless devices.” "Teradyne is excited to celebrate with CSR on
their 500 millionth Bluetooth device shipment,”
said Charles Grapy, Europe field operations manager, Teradyne. "At
the same time we’re pleased CSR is marking a
milestone with the delivery of Teradyne’s 350th
shipment of the Gen4 Microwave instrument. The broad acceptance of the
FLEX family by wireless manufacturers and subcontract test houses
clearly differentiates Gen4 in the marketplace, and we value customers
like CSR who have fueled its success.”
Teradyne’s FLEX test family, with over 1600
test systems shipped, advances test technologies in an architecture
designed for high-efficiency, multisite test. FLEX family systems
readily adapt to new test requirements. With a Universal Slot
architecture and high-density instrument design, test engineers can
dynamically match system configurations to changing production
requirements on the test floor.
Teradyne's wireless test instruments, the Gen4 Microwave and recently
introduced UltraWave 12G, cover the broadest range of complex wireless
device test requirements, including wireless LAN, Bluetooth, set-top box
(STB), cellular, and new emerging standards like WiMax®
and ultrawideband. With 12 GHz operating range for both source and
measure, a Universal RF port architecture, and unprecedented phase noise
performance for RF ATE, UltraWave 12G provides flexible configurations
to meet the most demanding wireless device test requirements for current
and next generation devices.
