InterDigital Announces Collaboration With Anritsu to Test 5g Industry Verticals
March 02 2020 - 4:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile and video technology
research and development company, today announced an agreement with
leading telecommunications electronic test equipment maker Anritsu
Corporation to collaborate on the development and experimentation
of 5G industry verticals.
The collaboration is aimed at offering trusted test bed
environments to examine the growing number of industry verticals
that will shape future 5G growth. InterDigital and Anritsu have
agreed to set the architecture of demonstration scenarios, share
technical specifications related to the execution of joint
demonstrations, share and integrate software and hardware into
existing platforms for joint demonstrations, provide support for
the implementation and promotion of joint demonstrations, and
pursue expanded collaborations with additional participants and
research programs.
InterDigital and Anritsu’s first joint demonstration, titled “5G
Industry Verticals Test Bed”, provides a platform to evaluate
device and application performance like throughput, latency, and
signaling using an end-to-end 5G test bed operating in standalone
(SA) mode and integrated with mobile edge computing (MEC).
InterDigital contributed an immersive 360-degree media streaming
service that leverages InterDigital’s 5G-CORAL mobile edge
computing platform, which has been integrated with the Anritsu
MT8000A 5G Network Simulator platform. The demonstration also
includes MT10000A measurement equipment to test 5G timing and
latency, which is critical in many Industry 4.0 use cases. The
demonstration, initially scheduled for the now-cancelled Mobile
World Congress, has been virtually presented on the Anritsu
website, here.
“We are delighted with this first showcase of InterDigital’s
video and edge technology over a 5G standalone platform from
Anritsu,” said Dr Alain Mourad, Director Engineering R&D at
InterDigital. “Over the next 12 months, we will be extending our
collaboration with Anritsu to showcase InterDigital’s beyond 5G
hybrid network slicing technology for Industry 4.0 use cases.”
“This first step of our agreement with InterDigital, to produce
the test bed and initial use case, has shown the powerful
collaboration we have together. We are excited to extend this
work, and bring to the industry further testing expertise and
knowledge for the more advanced use cases of 5G in network slicing
and Industry 4.0,” added Jonathan Borrill, Head of Global Market
Technology at Anritsu.
InterDigital and Anritsu have outlined several additional areas
of engagement for their collaboration. The companies have agreed to
work together to integrate InterDigital’s demonstration of Hybrid
Network Slicing with Anritsu’s 5G Network Simulator platform, and
are preparing a joint showcase of their integrated vertical applied
to a tele-operated driving (TOD) use case. InterDigital and Anritsu
have also agreed to implement a trial campaign to gather data
insights of 5G network characteristics and are currently exploring
expanding their collaboration to include additional
participants.
