roll out 5G services
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 an
extended collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, to accelerate
commercialization of Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) technology,
which will enable mobile operators to quickly and cost-effectively
roll out 5G new radio (NR) services.
The collaboration utilizes Keysight’s 5G network emulation
solutions to accelerate the development of Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 5G
Modem-RF System to support DSS, an emerging technology that is part
of the 3GPP Release 15. By 2020, mobile operators are expected to
start implementing DSS on existing 4G LTE base stations, speeding
nationwide deployments of 5G services. DSS allows mobile operators
to transform LTE base stations via a software upgrade to create
hybrid 4G/5G base stations. As a result, users of DSS-capable 5G NR
devices can access 5G services in urban and rural environments.
“Our continued collaboration with Keysight on 5G technology,
which was initiated in 2015, has enabled Qualcomm Technologies to
accelerate the implementation of DSS, a critical feature that will
help mobile operators quickly transition to 5G,” said Jon Detra,
vice president, engineering, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Keysight
helps us develop and validate our Snapdragon 5G Modem-RF System
designs at a pace that will help accelerate 5G
commercialization.”
DSS enables a mobile operator to flexibly use existing spectrum
allocations across low-, mid- and high- frequency bands by
dynamically switching between LTE and 5G NR coverage based on
traffic demand. Mobile operators can leverage DSS to deliver the
best possible performance and coverage for a mix of 4G and 5G
devices.
“Our extended collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies on 5G
technology enables device makers and mobile operators to
cost-effectively build out 5G coverage”, said Kailash Narayanan,
vice president and general manager of Keysight's wireless test
group.
Keysight’s 5G network emulation solutions, widely adopted across
the mobile ecosystem, allows users to cost-effectively validate
multi-radio access technology (RAT) designs on a single platform.
Earlier this year, Keysight announced that the company’s 5G
collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies resulted in significant
industry breakthroughs, including: the industry's first Global
Certification Forum (GCF) validation of 5G NR conformance test
cases for radio frequency (RF) demodulation and radio resource
management (RRM); and the industry's first announced 5G NR data
call in the Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) mode.
