StarPoint SP9500 Now Integrated with EMQuest for 5G Wireless Device Test Requirements

Convenient Turnkey Solution Available to Meet 3GPP R15 Specifications

CEDAR PARK, Texas April 17, 2020   ETS-Lindgren announced the integration of the StarPoint SP9500 test instrument and platform with its CTIA-compliant EMQuest Antenna Measurement software.   The integration expands the reach of ETS-Lindgren's turnkey 5G test solutions for its world-wide customer base.   EMQuest now supports the StarPoint SP9500 Communication Test Set for compliant total radiated power (TRP) and total isotropic sensitivity (TIS) tests in the FR1 band.  StarPoint's SP9500 supports 100 MHz channel bandwidths, carrier aggregation, downlink 8-stream/uplink 4-stream MIMO, and other characteristics as defined in the 3GPP R15 wireless device test specification.  "ETS-Lindgren continues the unique approach of supporting several major brand 5GNR signaling platforms. EMQuest is favored by customers world-wide because it allows flexibility in the instrumentation utilized for the test.  Our instrument agnostic approach allows a lab to keep the same certified software regardless of the instrument brand. This approach cuts training and certification overhead extensively, and can keep a lab productive if an instrument needs repair or calibration" stated James Young, ETS-Lindgren's Director of Business Development.

"We have had a long and fruitful collaboration with StarPoint. We started by making drivers for their TD-SCMDA communication tester nearly 10 years ago," said Michael Christopher, Director of Software Engineering, with ETS-Lindgren.  "Since then, we were encouraged by our application engineers in our Beijing and Taipei offices to bring support for the SP9500 into EMQuest.  After extensive testing and numerous adjustments working closely with StarPoint and our Asia based engineering team, we are excited to announce the successful integration of StarPoint and EMQuest.  I'm very proud of the dedication, diligence, and engineering capabilities of the entire team that accomplished this achievement, especially since the last few months of work could only be done remotely, across many time zones."

ETS-Lindgren will begin shipping the StarPoint SP9500 drivers this month.   "We are happy to join other leading wireless companies such as Google, Huawei, China Mobile, Qualcomm, Foxconn, and Samsung, to name a few, as a collaborative partner with StarPoint," added Mr. Christopher.
