Test Considerations for 5G NR (New Radio)
White Papers
With the implementation of 5G over the next decade, both network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) and device manufactures will face new challenges in testing their hardware, software, and end-to-end deployments. 5G technology, as currently envisioned, is quite different from 4G/Long Term Evolution (LTE) and will bring together some of the most challenging aspects of existing approaches. It will also introduce new challenges, described further here. As these challenges are overcome, the technology will usher in a host of potentially game-changing applications.
Keysight is leading the way in delivering first-to-market 5G solutions. The hardware and software solutions pave the path from 4G/LTE test architecture to true next generation 5G test architectures that will help both operators and their equipment suppliers validate their designs and network configurations to ensure devices and networks perform as expected.
