“Prior to LitePoint, WiFi devices were being tested with a cobbled-together system of signal generators, power meters, spectrum analyzers, switches and cables. Then LitePoint introduced key innovations that replaced slow, inaccurate and messy test setups, with fast, accurate and simple ones. The benefits were obvious, the adoption was rapid and the approach has since become the de facto industry solution for testing standards-based wireless devices,” continued Schoups.

The company’s innovative approach to wireless test has been accompanied by a spate of fundamental patents. More patents issued this month punctuate LitePoint’s focus on testing faster, at lower cost, without compromising results integrity. “Patents are about innovation,” said Christian Olgaard, LitePoint’s chief technology officer, “and innovation has absolutely fueled our success since day one.”

Along with its solutions for testing WiFi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, the company has developed systems for testing other wireless standards, such as WiMAX and GPS, and for fully testing MIMO-equipped devices. Recently, LitePoint created a new category of system – Multicom testersTM – a single-box solution that can test any four of six wireless standards, and up to three of them in parallel.
