Features Maximise return-oninvestment
Dramatic reduction in test times
An established, respected solution
Using a modular system allows for custom solutions with low-cost modules all contained in one chassis, rather than procuring multiple pieces of test equipment to deliver the same test coverage.
Low test times are achieved as a result of fast switching hardware, the use of multi-core processors and efficient software.
With systems deployed in manufacturing the world over, Cobham Wireless’s modular solutions are leading the way in wireless product manufacturing test.
Software reconfiguration and integration of discrete field replaceable modules further maximise return on investment by extending the system’s life and scope of applications.
“Achieve up to
Test management and supporting test architecture allows for multiple simultaneous measurements and multi-device testing. Further reductions in test time can be achieved through complete test automation, managed through Cobham Wireless’s test executive solution.
A solid customer base across all wireless markets from semiconductor to consumer and infrastructure equipment manufacture, demonstrates an enviable track record of meeting the most stringent requirements for continued global support, servicing and evolution of the product portfolio.

higher throughput than conventional instrumentation”
High accuracy, reliability, and repeatability Cobham Wireless’s expertise in design and manufacturing test for wireless systems is translated into every solution. To ensure uncompromising performance, accuracy, reliability and repeatability we build solutions based on proven AXIe instruments as well as National Instrument’s industry leading PXI modular instrumentation. Our partnership with NI provides access to a broad range of modules and software measurement libraries, extending beyond wireless technology.
Together with our own test executives and specialist libraries, Cobham Wireless can integrate these modules into a custom solution to meet each customer’s specific needs. Customised solutions Cobham Wireless is committed to assisting our customers by providing adaptation of our base solutions to meet their particular needs.Our product portfolio enables bench top or rack-based testing. Complete solutions including test fixturing, bar code scanners, custom reports, DUT control and complete automation can be provided to facilitate high-volume testing requirements.
Software architecture Our software platform allows multiple approaches to testing. Low-level hardware manipulation is completely managed by dedicated libraries which can be used for implementing customised solutions for automated environments. If required a test executive is available to enable the easy creation and management of test plans. The customer also has the capability to adapt the software to drive external equipment, execute custom measurement steps, control the DUT or modify the result output file format. Examples are provided to enable this to be a straight-forward process.
