Validate User Experience Before Deployment
Keysight’s PROPSIM solutions help chipset vendors, device manufacturers, and test laboratories evaluate wireless performance under realistic and repeatable radio channel conditions. Supporting cellular and Wi-Fi technologies, these solutions combine advanced channel emulation, fading simulation, MIMO testing, and over-the-air validation to recreate real-world propagation environments inside the lab. From smartphones, customer-premises equipment, and IoT devices to Wi-Fi access points and connected systems, engineers can assess throughput, reliability, mobility, latency, and user experience before deployment.
The PROPSIM portfolio enables validation across single- and multi-user scenarios, dense indoor environments, dynamic mobility conditions, and challenging radio networks, helping teams identify performance issues early and accelerate product development. By bringing realistic wireless conditions into a controlled test environment, Keysight's PROPSIM solutions improve test repeatability, reduce validation risk, and provide greater confidence that devices will perform as expected in real-world networks.
