Case Study: 5G Transceiver Manufacturing Company achieves 20X faster testing and 10X asset utilization with Keysight

5G Transceiver Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

5G Transceiver Manufacturing Company, a leading maker of multi-antenna mmWave 5G transceivers, faced growing test complexity and slow, underutilized manufacturing test stations that couldn’t keep up with higher-frequency OTA measurements or the scale of up to 128 channels. They engaged Keysight for a comprehensive test platform and services—leveraging Keysight consulting, PathWave Test and PathWave Analytics software, modular PXI hardware, and Keysight Engineering Services—to address undefined 5G test requirements, reduce idle instrument time, and accelerate throughput.

Keysight implemented a distributed, cloud-based test architecture that keeps instruments continuously acquiring data while offloading parallel measurement calculations to private cloud servers via PathWave, enabling remote updates and flexible repurposing of stations from 3G to 5G. The solution delivered measurable results: a 20X improvement in test speed, a 10X increase in asset utilization, faster commercialization of products, and easier test-station reconfiguration—demonstrating Keysight’s impact on production efficiency and scalability.
