Wireless manufacturers can now get the same fast test times and best test coverage for WiMAX that they’ve already been getting using LitePoint’s other successful IQfact products for WiFi, MIMO, and Bluetooth. The first WiMAX manufacturing test software for Beceem, Sequans, and Wavesat WiMAX chipsets is now available.

"LitePoint’s presence and leadership in wireless test manufacturing environments is well known. Having third-party manufacturing test solutions for Beceem-based devices will help accelerate the adoption and growth of our products in the mobile WiMAX market. Early relationships and solutions like these are critical in enabling product designers, OEMs/ODMs, and QA groups to develop and test their WiMAX products in their labs and in production." - David M. Patterson, Vice President of Marketing, Beceem Communications
