    By Sujan Sami, Measurement & Instrumentation Industry Manager, Frost & Sullivan, June 1, 2009
    After several mergers and acquisitions in recent years, the semiconductor ATE market now is dominated by just a handful of companies, including Teradyne, Verigy, Advantest, LTX-Credence, and Yokogawa. More
  • Used test equipment: A bright spot in an ever-bleak economy
    By Prathima Bommakanti, Senior Research Analyst, www.frost.com, April 1, 2009
    With increasing pricing pressure and easy replacement of test equipment, you might expect that the acceptance of used test equipment would be growing rapidly. Yet, the used equipment market is facing constraints on a variety of fronts. More
  • Competing bus technologies continue to coexist
    Vijay Mathew, Senior Measurement & Instrumentation Research Analyst www.frost.com, December 1, 2008
    Since the introduction of PXI in 1997 by National Instruments, several concerns have been raised by end users and suppliers about the future of VXI. Having been around for over two decades, the VXI platform has successfully endured the test of time and continues to retain a share of the modular test market. More
  • Demand grows for multiple-services testing
    Olga Yashkova, Industry Analyst www.frost.com, October 1, 2008
    There is a prevailing trend in the telecommunications industry to offer VoIP, data, and IPTV services over a single converged network. The integrated triple-play test-equipment market registered revenues of $121.1 million in 2007—an increase of 32.1% from 2006. Revenues will likely reach more than $1 billion in 2014 at a compound annual growth rate of 36. More
  • Need for EMC testing benefits spectrum-analyzer market
    Juan Rosales, Test & Measurement Research Analyst www.frost.com, August 1, 2008
    EMC remains a hot topic among regulatory groups and manufacturers. With the continued integration of electronics in consumer devices, EMC testing is necessary to guarantee the safe and effective operation of such products. More

    Vijay Mathew, Research Analyst, Test & Measurement Practice, Frost & Sullivan, www.frost.com, April 1, 2008
    Compared with other types of general-purpose test and measurement equipment, the oscilloscope market has witnessed the most technological innovations and changing market trends. More
  • Luminous growth in MEMS test equipment market
    Sujan Sami, Senior Research Analyst, Frost & Sullivan, www.frost.com, February 1, 2008
    The market for MEMS device test has not grown significantly in comparison to the growth of the MEMS device market itself. More
  • The ATE industry's hybrid theory
    S. Vidyasankar, Senior Research Analyst, Frost & Sullivan www.frost.com, December 21, 2007
    If the first thing you think of when you hear "hybrid theory" is Linkin Park's debut album, then you may be missing the most important trend in automatic test equipment (ATE): the introduction of hybrid systems that employ combinations of GPIB, VXI, PXI, and LXI interfaces. More
  • Smart cameras benefit from technological advances
    Juan Rosales, Research Analyst, Frost & Sullivan, www.frost.com, October 1, 2007
