Case Study: Optical Communication Technology Manufacturer achieves rapid production ramp-up with KeysightAccess (Keysight)

Progressing Chip Technology Manufacturing Leveraging Photonic Integration to Deliver Internet Bandwidth to All

Optical Communication Technology Manufacturer, a producer of highly integrated DWDM optical transceivers, faced a rapid increase in product demand that outpaced its test capacity and budget. The company had relied on Keysight instruments (including N1090A/DCA‑M optical sampling oscilloscopes, N7744C optical multiport power meters, and N7764A optical attenuators) and Keysight account managers but needed a way to ramp production without tying up significant CapEx.

Keysight implemented its KeysightAccess subscription service, delivering a 36‑month, monthly‑payment subscription to the required instruments, software, and committed technical support/repair, with options to renew, return, or purchase. The KeysightAccess solution gave the manufacturer immediate access to high‑performance test equipment and expert support, enabled a steep production ramp‑up schedule, expanded testing capacity without impacting CapEx, and balanced technical and financial risk.
