Accelerate 5G Testing

Technology Evolution

The promise of 5G is faster and more reliable communications. To enable mobile broadband communications, 5G uses existing and new technologies to achieve extreme data throughputs. The introduction of these technologies leads to new testing demands, including operation in more frequency bands, wider channel bandwidths, and complex multi-antenna configurations.

With the standalone version (Release 15.2.0) of 5G New Radio (NR) approved by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in December 2017, the cellular ecosystem is evolving from research to product development and early production. This evolution has sparked challenges for the wireless industry related to test costs and time to market as it transitions from research and design (R&D) to design verification and volume production. The global wireless standards consortium announced the freeze of Release 16 specifications in July 2020. Engineers need to adapt to the new standard faster and accelerate their 5G product development.

To address these challenges cost effectively, test engineers need access to future-proof test instruments that support the latest 3GPP standards. Those instruments should offer best-in-class radio-frequency (RF) performance in a flexible and scalable solution that addresses future needs. This white paper covers the impact of the 3GPP evolution on testing and solutions available to help you scale to production quickly.
