Keysight Technologies ascended to the top because of its diverse and deep product portfolio. The company's RF test equipment and software-integrated solutions address the challenges created by new, increasingly complex technologies. These solutions find application in every phase of the customer's workflow because they cover all types of instruments, including signal generators, spectrum and signal analyzers, network analyzers and emulation, and context instruments (power meters and electronic counters) in different form factors.

"Having operated for nearly eight decades in the RF T&M market, Keysight has a significant installed base in the mobile communications and aerospace and defense industries that continuously demand new solutions to test the constantly evolving communication technologies," said Industry Director Jessy Cavazos. "Keysight is the only company in the RF T&M market that offers all form factors (traditional, modular, and portable) covering every stage of the product lifecycle, including simulation, research, development, design validation, manufacturing, and installation and maintenance."

Looking to evolve from a hardware-centric company to a software-driven company, Keysight launched a software design center in Atlanta, Georgia in 2016. In 2018, the company introduced PathWave, a design and test software platform that integrates the customer's workflow, from design to manufacturing. Even though hardware remains a critical focus in the RF T&M space, Keysight's strategy of focusing on software is a winning move because it endows the company to align with the industry's increasing focus on software.
