Trilithic and Willtek Communications Announce Strategic Partnership
Indianapolis, IN (Wednesday, June 16, 2004). Trilithic announced today a strategic partnership with
wireless test equipment vendor Willtek Communications. This new alliance names Trilithic as the
exclusive distributor of Willtek’s award-winning 9101 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer to the CATV market.
Specifically, Trilithic will be the sole distributor of the 9105 CATV Handheld Spectrum Analyzer for the
Americas region.
The Willtek 9101 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer is already the product of choice in many markets, including
the wireless test market, winning the 2004 Best Test Product of the Year award from Test and
Measurement World magazine in February 2004. This new strategic partnership enables Trilithic’s
experienced network of sales and marketing professionals to bring this outstanding product to the CATV
market.
The 9105 CATV Handheld Spectrum Analyzer is a lab-quality spectrum analyzer equipped with CATV
testing features. Best known for its small size and weight (approximately 5 pounds) and unique display,
the 9105 brings all of the enhanced test features of a laboratory spectrum analyzer into a smaller, portable
package. This makes it ideal for the CATV market, specifically for headend technicians, and system or
chief engineers.
The 9105 primarily will be used as a headend tool for required FCC quality testing and performance
analysis. In addition to conducting general spectrum analysis measurements, it also will conduct
performance verification of headend equipment, fault analysis and measurement quality of difficult to find
signals.
Other features that are important to the CATV market include: CATV channel plan, high-precision
frequency counter, a more than 65 dB dynamic range, TCP/IP connection, softkey menu structure with
one button press operation, a color display, and data exchange software that allows users to transfer trace
information, including limit templates, to a PC for easier management.
Trilithic president Terry Bush says that this strategic partnership is mutually beneficial. “We are
enthusiastic about the alliance since it allows both companies to further expand product offerings and
cater to a very specific marketplace. It will enable us to supply more advanced technical solutions to our
customers“
Willtek CEO and President Cyrille Damany knows the alliance is beneficial for Willtek. “This partnership
strengthens Willtek’s product reach into other important markets. Our goal is to deliver quality test
products to key industry segments and this alliance ensures future growth and success in the CATV
market.”
Trilithic will make the 9105 CATV Handheld Spectrum Analyzer available for private demonstrations
during the Cable Tec Expo. Stop by Trilithic’s booth 1341 to make an appointment.
