Simplify 5G Device Testing, RedCap to NTN, on One Platform

5G has reshaped the wireless communications industry. The public is embracing new and more advanced devices and enjoying 5G’s fast and reliable connectivity. However, greater complexity and changing technical aspects continue to bring new challenges to chipset makers, device manufacturers, and mobile network operators (MNOs).

 
Testing a 5G device’s performance and standards compliance is challenging. 5G has non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) modes, and it supports more bands and band combinations than ever. Existing 5G features include beamforming, multiple-input / multiple-out (MIMO), and network slicing. Also, new standards such as reduced capability (RedCap) and non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are coming. Understanding the various 5G device tests may be more complicated than understanding 5G technology itself.

 
This eBook covers all types of required 5G device tests, from verification to acceptance. Learn why you need to perform these tests, what their challenges are, and what features you need to simplify your testing process. Discover how you can use Keysight’s platform to streamline your test plan execution. We also discuss the required hardware and software configuration for each test, from verification to acceptance. With this guide, you will have more time to analyze your test results and improve your designs instead of spending time learning test plans and standards.
