Dutch giant Philips Healthcare was looking for a replacement for a microwave multiplexer switch used within its in-house, automated test equipment (ATE) for medical imaging scanners. They faced the challenge of selecting a partner with the engineering expertise to develop such a part and the flexibility to deliver fast.
Philips' preference was to find a supplier that could handle both hardware and software design and produce a unit that used the same BNC front panel connectors as the existing switch. Pickering but didn't have such a switch module in its wide product range but agreed to design one from scratch- a new LXI Multiplexer Switch Module.
