Case Study: Global Antenna Module Manufacturer achieves 50% faster R&D and two-month earlier product release with Keysight

Automating Intelligence Helps Antenna Manufacturer Accelerate 5G Development

Global Antenna Module Manufacturer faced a sprint to boost mmWave antenna bandwidth and data rates for a new 5G beamforming product with limited 5G expertise and less than one month to launch. The customer partnered with Keysight, using a 5G R&D Test Bed featuring the Keysight N5244B PNA‑X Microwave Network Analyzer, to supply the mmWave signal generator, analyzer and expert guidance needed to meet the tight timeline.

Keysight implemented a compact, standards-aligned test bed and provided hands-on training and automation guidance, enabling the manufacturer to accelerate mmWave antenna testing by more than 50%. The work cut typical test turnaround from three months to one, accelerated the product release by about two months, and led to earlier revenue generation after launch — demonstrating measurable time‑to‑market and productivity gains driven by Keysight’s solution.
