LitePoint Announces First Volume Manufacturing Test Solution for NFC Devices at Mobile World Congress

LitePoint, an provider of wireless test solutions, today released its LitePoint IQnfc, the first volume production-optimized test system designed to measure and verify the physical layer performance of Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled devices. LitePoint will be demonstrating its IQnfc solution at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, February 24th – 27th in booth 5H31 Hall 5.
Until today, the primary method for production testing of NFC-enabled devices such as smartphones was a “pass/no-pass” approach, often utilizing an off-the-shelf NFC card reader or “passive tag.” This method, however, provides little useful data about system performance, allows marginal or even defective devices to ship to consumers and offers no information about the failure mechanism of devices that do not pass the production test.
