Cutting-edge gaming technology company uses
Keysight’s 5G network emulation solutions to validate mobile device
performance
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 a
collaboration with Black Shark Technology to accelerate the launch
of flagship 5G gaming smartphones aimed at consumers in China.
Black Shark Technology, part of Xiaomi’s MiOT Ecosystem,
selected Keysight’s 5G network emulation solutions to accelerate
the development and radio frequency (RF) performance validation of
the company’s 5G mobile gaming devices. Black Shark uses Qualcomm's
latest platform, the Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 8cx system-on-a-chip
(SoC) and X55 5G modem to deliver a 360-degree gaming eco-system
based on hardware, software and services.
“Keysight is helping us realize our strategic goal of creating
an unmatched gaming experience for our international fanbase,” said
Michael Shen, general manager of the Testing Department at Black
Shark. “Early access to reliable 5G test solutions provided by
Keysight enables us to accelerate the market introduction of
innovative and inspiring gaming experiences that will help bring
people together.”
Mobile gaming, the largest segment of the global games market,
is predicted to generate a revenue of more than $150 billion in
2019 according to Newzoo. Makers of mobile gaming smartphones and
tablets are adopting 5G technology to create an enhanced gaming
experience for enthusiasts willing to pay a premium to quickly
stream games with richer content, delivered at a lower latency.
“Black Shark’s selection of Keysight as their sole supplier of
RF performance testing tools underscores the significance of our
close collaboration on 5G technology with Xiaomi, one of Black
Sharks’ key investors,” said Peng Cao, senior director of the
Commercial Communications group at Keysight Technologies. “We’re
excited to play a key role in enabling leading 5G device makers,
such as Black Shark, to commercialize 5G devices in a growing
number of form factors across a multitude of regional
variants.”
The most recent report from the Global mobile Suppliers
Association (GSA) on the 5G device ecosystem confirms the
proliferation of form factors, with nearly 130 announced in fifteen
different form factors, including IoT routers, laptops and customer
premise equipment (CPE) devices. The connected ecosystem of
wireless device makers use Keysight’s 5G network emulation
solutions, available on a single platform, to cost-effectively
validate 5G NR multi-mode designs in multiple form factors across
protocol, RF and radio resource management (RRM) in both
non-standalone (NSA) and stand-alone (SA) modes. In June 2019, this
solution suite enabled Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of
Qualcomm Incorporated, to demonstrate the industry’s first 5G
laptop with integrated modem at Computex in Taipei, Taiwan.
