LitePoint and Movandi Collaborate on 5G Millimeter Wave Solutions

In a recent release, LitePoint, a provider of wireless test solutions, announced that Movandi will use its IQgig-5G millimeter wave (mmWave) test system for design validation and production of Movandi’s new 5G BeamX system solutions. The combination of a 5G technology solution developer and wireless testing company will help to enable fast manufacturing product ramps of 5G solutions, while reducing lengthy test development and debugging cycles, the company said.

“Movandi is revolutionizing mmWave 5G networks by providing the complete system to enable 5G everywhere,” said Maryam Rofougaran, Co-CEO and COO, Movandi. “Our system solutions deliver the highest level of performance and flexibility to ensure that 5G technology can be broadly and successfully deployed in the real world. Using LitePoint’s 5G mmWave testing technology is vital to meeting our aggressive time to market and production goals to our early stage customers.”

High quality network equipment and connections are vital in 5G mmWave networks due to high data rates and the mission critical nature of the networks. LitePoint’s IQgig-5G is designed to keep the mmWave test functionality in a single enclosure and make the system easy to program with integrated signal generation and analysis capability.

“The IQgig-5G virtually eliminates the complexity of over-the-air millimeter wave testing and is the simplest solution for design verification and production testing of 5G mmWave products as all the required hardware is self-contained inside a single box,” said Adam Smith, Director, Product Marketing, LitePoint. “The solution’s full hardware integration significantly reduces the test set up complexity, provides high reliability and improves production efficiency.”

5G mmWave devices are expected to start initial production in 2019.
