Achieved using Keysight’s conformance toolset
and Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 5G Mobile Platform
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
that the company was first to submit protocol test cases for
verifying 5G new radio (NR) devices supporting IP Multimedia
Subsystem (IMS) to 3GPP using Keysight’s Conformance Toolset and a
smartphone form factor mobile test device based on the next
generation Snapdragon Mobile Platform.
IMS enables carriers to cost-effectively and flexibly deliver
rich multimedia services such as voice over IP (VoIP),
videoconferencing and video on demand (VoD). The new IMS test cases
were submitted by Keysight on September 21, 2020 to RAN 5, a group
within 3GPP that establishes conformance testing specifications for
the radio interface of a user equipment (UE).
“The submission of the first 5G NR protocol conformance test
cases for IMS verification underscores Keysight’s commitment to the
wireless and wireline industry,” said Muthu Kumaran, senior
director of Keysight's wireless test group. “Our collaboration with
Qualcomm Technologies is fundamental to helping this rapidly
evolving industry provide affordable broadband wireless access
regardless of how or where users connect.”
The new IMS test cases are accessible via Keysight’s S8704A
protocol conformance toolset, which enables mobile operators and
manufacturers of chipsets and devices to verify compliance to
3GPP-specified test cases. Leading device makers use Keysight’s
conformance toolsets to access the largest number of GCF validated
5G NR radio frequency (RF) and protocol test cases.
“The milestone enables an expanding 5G device ecosystem to
deliver 3GPP-compliant products to mobile operators in the process
of implementing IMS technology,” said Pradeep Gowda, Director,
Engineering at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Combining Keysight’s 5G
platforms with the Snapdragon 5G Modem-RF Systems, we’re helping
the wider industry accelerate 5G design, development and
rollout.”
