RF test and measurement equipment requires significant capital investment, whilst reliable results require skilled operators.
"Research has shown that outsourcing this small but crucial area can save a company up to 35% of test and rework costs" says Nigel Gaylard.
Traditionally companies have either invested in internal test facilities or hired equipment as needed.
Where internal investment is made it is only cost effective if utilisation is high.
Hiring equipment is attractive as the capital outlay is low, however a minimum contract period and unfamiliar equipment can make this an uneconomical option.
The BOM cost of wireless equipment has dropped dramatically, shifting the emphasis for cost savings from the materials to the labour based elements.
