SAN DIEGO, USA: Accel-RF Corp., the world leader in turn-key RF reliability testing systems for compound semiconductor devices, announced the successful shipment and installation of two advanced semiconductor reliability test systems to customers in Asia.

The systems were delivered in Q4 of 2010 with installation completed in early January 2011. Shipped to both government research and commercial entities, these systems will be instrumental in the development of compound semiconductor device performance characterization in Asia.
