Keysight Technologies has delivered a range of enhancements to the company’s 5G Network Emulation Solution that support the latest 3GPP Rel-15/16/17 features, and enable leading chipset and device makers to quickly and confidently develop designs with advanced 5G capabilities for consumer, industry and government applications.
Over the past year, the new updates have enabled leading 5G chipset makers to develop and verify the performance of advanced 5G chipsets based on 3GPP release 16 (Rel-16), supporting new features and capabilities. Expected to be introduced to market in 2022, these chipsets have already been tested and verified using Keysight’s enhanced 5G network emulation solution, based on the company’s UXM 5G Wireless Test Platform. Keysight has used the enhanced network emulation platform to realize several industry-first 5G achievements in collaboration with these leading chipset makers.
Keysight’s 5G network emulation solution leverages the company’s UXM 5G Wireless Test Platform, an integrated and compact signalling test platform with multiformat stack support, rich processing power and abundant radio frequency (RF) resources, to emulate a 5G new radio (NR) network. The UXM 5G platform supports RF characterization, protocol compliance and functional key performance analytics across both sub-6GHz and mmWave spectrum. Solution updates are available in a range of new platform configurations and price points to support RF protocol, functional and performance use cases across the device workflow.
