Keysight’s 5G Conformance Toolset supports the
greatest number of validated GCF and PTCRB protocol and RF
conformance test cases for 5G NR NSA and SA
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology
company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments
accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced
the company’s 5G Conformance Toolset now supports the greatest
number of validated Global Certification Forum (GCF) and PTCRB
protocol, as well as radio frequency
(RF) conformance test cases, for both 5G new radio (NR)
non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) mode, as reaffirmed at the
recent GCF meeting.
Protocol and RF conformance tests are a key enabler for chipset,
device manufacturers, mobile operators, and test labs to validate
the performance of new 5G designs. By addressing global test
requirements on a single solution platform, Keysight enables the
mobile industry to accelerate certification of 5G multi-mode
devices. Keysight’s comprehensive test case coverage also means
device manufacturers can validate a wider range of devices, each
addressing regionally different requirements, easily and
cost-effectively.
Keysight’s 5G Conformance Toolset was used to submit 5G NR
non-standalone RF test cases – targeting spurious emission testing
in the sub-6Ghz frequency range (FR1) – to GCF. Early access to a
comprehensive set of test cases on a common platform enables the
mobile ecosystem to validate the performance of new 5G designs.
“This achievement confirms Keysight’s continued 5G conformance
test case leadership in GCF and PTCRB and enables designers to
confidently evolve with the latest 5G NR specifications,” said
Kailash Narayanan, vice president and general manager of Keysight's
wireless test group. “As 5G NR NSA and SA deployments are
progressing in parallel, we’re excited to play a foundational role
in accelerating 5G mobile device certification for both modes of
operation, addressing global requirements.”
Keysight’s 5G Conformance Toolset forms part of Keysight's suite
of 5G network emulation solutions that leverages the company’s UXM
5G Wireless Test Platform to address device development workflow
from early design to acceptance and manufacturing. These compact
solutions support the device certification process and scale to
facilitate mobile device verification, as well as certification
across RF, radio resource management (RRM) and protocol. Mobile
operators and their ecosystems use Keysight's 5G network emulation
solutions to validate new devices across sub-6GHz and mmWave
frequency bands.
In the past three months, Keysight has obtained initial GCF
approval for validated 5G NR NSA test cases and has enabled the
activation of GCF certification for 5G NR standalone devices.
Keysight’s 5G Conformance Toolset offers the widest range of GCF 5G
RF NR radio frequency SA test cases and frequency band combinations
and is currently the only solution that supports validated 5G NR
protocol test cases for standalone mode. Compared to competitors,
Keysight offers the leading number of carrier acceptance 5G NR RF
and protocol test cases as mandated by a major U.S. mobile
operator.
