MVTS and Verigy Offer V93000 Port Scale RF SolutionsCUPERTINO, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Verigy (NASDAQ: VRGY), a premier semiconductor test company announced a customer support collaboration with MVTS Technologies LLC, a leading provider of value-added support and services for automated test equipment (ATE). In the interest of bringing industry leading wireless test solutions to fabless semiconductor companies in Southern California, MVTS has added a V93000 Port Scale RF system to its Test Applications Center in Carlsbad, California. MVTS Test Applications Centers provide complete services including test program development, full product characterization, and initial production ramp. "MVTS is a full-service ATE support provider with broad capabilities. The addition of the V93000 Port Scale RF to our Test Applications Center positions us to provide vital services in wireless device design applications to Southern California's expanding fabless community," said Ron Maassen, CEO, MVTS Technologies. "Fabless companies are choosing Port Scale RF as their next-generation RF test solution, not only because it dramatically lowers cost-of-test but also because of the large and growing installed base of V93000 Port Scale RF systems in the OSAT* base," said Pascal Ronde, Vice President of Sales, Service and Support, Verigy. "We look forward to working with MVTS in support of our customers" About the Verigy V93000 and Port Scale RF The Verigy V93000 provides a scalable platform architecture for testing SoCs, systems-in-package (SIPs) and high-speed memory devices. The V93000, with nearly 2,000 RF-ready systems installed worldwide, meets the industry's demanding performance and cost challenges, whether for at-speed engineering characterization or high-volume production. The test system provides low cost-of-test with massive multi-site capabilities, with data rates up to 12.8 Gbps and supports a full range of digital, mixed-signal, RF and wireless applications. The V93000 platform configured with Port Scale RF has the performance required to meet the technical challenges of all commercial wireless markets, and enables the lowest cost-of-test per device by extending that capability to high-throughput, multi-site testing. Port Scale RF delivers the throughput and parallel multi-site capability needed to efficiently test wireless devices of all levels of integration (SoC to discrete) for applications such as 2G, 3G and emerging 4G mobile phones, mobile computing (WLAN/WiMax), mobile TV, Bluetooth and global positioning. It also supports UWB, LTE and other new technologies*. About MVTS MVTS Technologies provides a "one-stop" solution for applications development, test system access, and low-volume test production to the semiconductor industry, enabling faster qualification of new products and seamless production ramps that minimize risk.
