5G NR Support

The 5G NR support in Nemo Handy enables operators and network vendors to test the advanced features and performance of 5G NR networks in busy and crowded indoor spaces.

Nemo Handy enables both non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) measurements in 5G NR. In addition, carrier aggregation support is available as an extra option.

Nemo Handy supports 5G NR measurements with the latest Qualcomm, Samsung Exynos, and MediaTek chipset-based devices, pending device availability.

The collected metrics include parameters such as RACH information, TX power, rank (MIMO mode), modulation, MAC throughput and BLER, signal strength, and quality metrics of the SSB beams.

In addition, Nemo Handy collects QoS measurements including throughput and latency. For 5G testing, an instant report template with support for 5G NSA measured is also available.

Full Measurement Functionality with New Commercial Smartphones

The accelerated pace of new 5G smartphone launches creates the need to quickly test with new devices in the network. Nemo Handy together with the external Nemo Diagnostic Module (NDM) enables full measurement functionality with commercial off-the-shelf smartphones. No special firmware or rooting is needed.

The measurement solution supports all Samsung, Qualcomm, and MediaTek chipset-based phone models and is reusable over new phone models, hence there are no additional costs when changing the phone.

Up to two Nemo Handy units can be connected to the NDM at the same time. Note that the external diagnostics port (USB) must be enabled on the used phone model and a driver on the NDM HW needs to be available.
