Agilent
Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) recently announced that it received Frost &
Sullivan's Global Company of the Year Award for radio-frequency test equipment.
Engineers
in RF design, R&D and manufacturing face continuously emerging test
challenges driven by increasingly complex modulation schemes, an ever-growing
number of industry standards, wider information bandwidths, and new frequency
bands and applications. They use Agilent's spectrum, signal and network
analyzers to design, test, and maintain RF and microwave electrical components,
circuitry and equipment, particularly in wireless communications.
"Our
unique research philosophy enables us to determine how best-in-class companies
worldwide manage growth, innovation and leadership," said Frost &
Sullivan industry analyst Prathima Bommakanti. "We are pleased to give
Agilent this award recognition. Agilent has consistently maintained its
position as the dominant player in the global RF test equipment market. It
offers a broad range of products of both traditional and modular test
equipment. Its success can be primarily attributed to a first-to-market
position and a genuine focus on delivering the most value to its customers
through a close working relationship with them."
"It
is exciting to receive this level of global recognition for our RF test
leadership," said Andy Botka, Agilent's microwave and communications
general manager and vice president. "We work closely with our customers to
support their need to turn ideas into validated products as quickly and
reliably as possible. They expect their test equipment to provide enough
flexibility to accelerate measurement insight and support industry standards
while maintaining the highest level of measurement integrity."
"Agilent's
position in the market can be primarily attributed to its technological
brilliance and its strong customer-focused approach," Bommakanti said.
"A key strategy of Agilent to maintain its share in the global market has
been to provide a complete product portfolio with multiple performance price
points that each run common application software, plus delivering complete
solutions verses independent components. Agilent's approach couples flexibility
with a clear focus on accelerating measurement insight and maintaining
measurement integrity."
