SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- LitePoint, a leading provider of wireless test solutions, has released a new test solution designed specifically for Altair Semiconductor's FourGee™-3100/6200 TDD/FDD LTE cellular chipset. LitePoint's IQxstream™ cellular test platform, created in tandem with Altair, is the first to offer complete four-device parallel verification and calibration of the FourGee™-3100/6200 LTE chipset in both TDD and FDD modes. This new solution delivers the highest throughput from a single tester, enabling Altair customers to rapidly get their LTE cellular products into high-volume production, with lower support costs.

"As one of the first chipset companies to offer LTE support for both TDD and FDD, it is essential that our manufacturing partners maintain the ability to easily and efficiently scale up production levels," said Eran Eshed, co-founder and vice president of Marketing and Business Development for Altair. "The availability of a total test solution from LitePoint enables Altair to engage with more customers, faster, allowing us to address more business opportunities at once. Additionally, LitePoint's local teams help support our customers and partners, getting them into production quickly."

Developing test solutions tailored to specific chipsets is an advantage LitePoint offers its customers.

Our approach enables companies to get their chipsets into volume production in less time, and with lower support costs," said John Lukez, senior director of Marketing for LitePoint.
