Tektronix is tech support partner at Philips Connectivity

BANGALORE, INDIA: Tektronix Inc. has joined hands with Philips Electronics India Ltd as the technology support partner to host Philips Connectivity Plugfest 01.

Philips Plugfest, spread over three days, focused on connectivity domains including HDMI and HDMI CEC, DLNA/UPnP and Bluetooth. A unique feature of the event was the emphasis on live testing whereby customers could get their products tested live on the spot at the “Tek Experience Zone”.

According to Jelle Rieske, Senior Director, Consumer Lifestyle, Philips Innovation Campus: “This year’s Plugfest attracted companies that are developing products in the connectivity domain. The participants of the Plugfest were also shown the HDMI ATC (Authorized Test Center) that Philips has set up, at Bangalore, with Tektronix. This ATC also certifies products from our competitors which benefits the end customer as it also allows devices to seamlessly work together and deliver the experience they are looking for.”

“Plugfests are good for learning and problem-solving as many of the products tested here are still in the development phase, “said Naresh Narasimhan, Country Marketing Manager, Tektronix India, ‘Being the worldwide leader in high speed serial data test, Tektronix is very pleased to work with Philips to help improve the overall knowledge level of the local design community and to speed the time-to-market of their products.”

The just concluded Plugfest saw 15 companies participating including consumer electronics and semiconductor companies working on high speed serial data technologies. In all, 29 of their products were tested at the Tek Experience Zone.

In addition to being able to see and use the latest Tektronix test solutions for advanced high speed serial technologies, participants were also able to ask questions and receive advice from Tektronix technical experts onsite.
