Case Study: 5G New Radio Device Manufacturer achieves double test capacity with zero additional CapEx with KeysightAccess (Keysight)

5G NR Device Manufacturer Doubles Test Capacity with Zero Additional CapEx

5G New Radio Device Manufacturing Company was racing to bring a new 5G NR product to market and needed to double its test capacity quickly. Its Keysight E7515B UXM 5G wireless test sets were running 24/7, but there was no CapEx budget to purchase eight additional UXM units, so the company worked with Keysight to find a way to expand testing without tapping CapEx.

Keysight delivered the solution via its KeysightAccess offering, enabling OpEx-funded access to additional UXM test assets (about $8M value) for an OpEx outlay of $4.7M. Using KeysightAccess the 5G New Radio Device Manufacturing Company immediately doubled test capacity, achieved a six‑month faster time‑to‑market, realized 42% savings versus an outright CapEx purchase, and gained the flexibility to exchange or upgrade instruments as 5G standards evolve.
