Challenge	The case study revolves around an optical communication technology manufacturer that was facing challenges in managing its product development, testing, budget, and schedule. The company's primary objective was to be the first to market with a unique, quality product. However, the acquisition of test instruments and software for product verification to support market demand was having a significant budgetary impact. As the company's business grew and product demands increased, the budget, testing, and schedule strategy had to evolve to meet customer needs. The company was under pressure to quickly provide an increased number of products, which outgrew the previous means for increased production. The main challenges were access to equipment for multiple test systems to increase production and the need to rescale production test without tying up significant CapEx. Read More
About Customer	The customer in this case study is an optical communication technology manufacturer. The company offers highly integrated optical products that leverage Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, one of the most innovative and important fibre optic communication technologies available today, providing high data transmission capacity and bandwidth. The company has been working with Keysight Account Managers for over 5 years, using Keysight’s instruments for their optical transceivers test application. As the demand for more components increased, the company worked to increase the production ramp-up and test capacities. Read More
Customer Name	Not Disclosed Read More
Solution	The company adopted KeysightAccess, a subscription-based service that provides access to scalable, OpEx funded test assets. Keysight Account Managers worked with the manufacturer to discuss services beyond just the technical challenges of increasing test capacity to include budget and instrument support. KeysightAccess provided the flexible services the manufacturer was looking for, enabling them to expand their testing capabilities without impacting their CapEx budget. The solution offered access to test instruments, software, and technical expertise, maximum test instrument and software uptime with committed technical support and repair, and balanced technical and financial risk with a flexible subscription.
