Measuring Voice, Data, Video, and Location Quality Across Lab and Field Environments

5G device validation requires performance testing across multiple service domains — data throughput, voice quality, video streaming, location accuracy, and cloud gaming — in both lab and live network environments. In the lab, a network emulation platform replicates real-world 5G radio conditions including fading, noise, and multi-cell mobility. Tests cover uplink and downlink throughput, call reliability and speech quality (Voice over NR, Voice over LTE, Voice over Wi-Fi), over-the-top (OTT) video streaming, and assisted GNSS (A-GNSS) location accuracy across GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, and NAVIC constellations.

Field testing extends the same methodology to live networks, measuring throughput and one-way latency to the mobile edge and public internet. Voice, video, and location metrics are collected across stationary, walking, and driving conditions in urban and rural environments. Results are benchmarked against reference devices using a balanced scorecard ranking each device across all service domains.

Mobile Device Test Solution

Comprehensive 5G device validation requires automated, repeatable testing across voice, data, video, and location domains. The Keysight mobile device test system provides a scalable, modular platform with integrated network and channel emulation, pre-configured test packs, and customizable development tools for R&D, conformance, and operator acceptance testing.
