At an Oct. 24 earnings briefing, DianKe Siyi said it will launch a higher‑frequency, higher‑performance vector network analyzer (VNA) and a series of PCB test solutions at the Shenzhen Semiconductor Expo. The company is shifting PCB offerings from R&D and OEM lab use toward automated production‑line testing to meet high‑volume manufacturing needs. Revenue from production‑side PCB testing is currently small. High‑speed PCB automated testing for 112G/224G requires DianKe Siyi’s VNA and software algorithms plus external fixtures/test stands; the company said it will co‑develop those external capabilities with partners. PCB test coverage includes insertion loss, impedance and dielectric constant, and current sample validations are broadly in line with expectations.
