SHANGHAI, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2005--Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE:TER) announced that Beijing Huada, a leading VLSI testing service and solution provider for Beijing and Northern China, has purchased multiple J750 test systems to meet production capacity for RFID smart card testing. Competing against two other major test equipment manufacturers, the J750 was selected for its highly integrated, low-cost testing along with the powerful performance needed for RF smart cards.

"Given our long history of using Teradyne products, we feel that the selection of the J750 represents a type of milestone," noted Xiao Gang, General Manager of Beijing Huada. "Thanks to both the quality of the products and Teradyne's record of outstanding service and support, we anticipate great success in the RFID smart card market."

That history with Teradyne goes back to 1999, when Beijing Huada's parent company, CIDC, ordered its first two J750 systems, and then, five years later, opted for another J750 that they used primarily for RFID smart card projects.

"Teradyne is pleased that Beijing Huada has continued our business relationship. The J750 provides a productive test platform with highly parallel, low cost test for their demanding market," said SI Wei, Manager, Teradyne Semiconductor Test Field Operations, Greater China Region.
