Early access to validated 5G protocol test
cases on common hardware and software platforms speeds validation
of multi-mode devices
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 be approved by the Global
Certification Forum (GCF) for 5G universal subscriber identity
module (USIM) application toolkit (USAT) test cases.
Keysight received the approval at the conformance agreement
group (CAG) #64 meeting led by the Global Certification Forum (GCF)
using Keysight’s S8704A 5G Protocol Conformance Toolset. Many 5G
devices include a USIM to secure authentication of user, network
access and subscription models. Integrating USIM and USIM
application toolkit (USAT) capabilities within Keysight's device
test solution eliminates the need for a separate SIM simulator.
Access to a wide range of test cases related to 5G, including USIM
and USAT, on common platforms, simplifies testing for chipset and
device manufacturers.
“The GCF-validated 5G USAT conformance test cases enable device
and module makers to verify that 5G devices with USAT capability
comply to standards set by 3GPP,” said Muthu Kumaran, senior
director of Keysight's wireless test group. “We’re pleased to
enable an expanding ecosystem of 5G device makers to
cost-effectively deliver products with a leading number of
GCF-validated protocol test cases for both non-standalone (NSA) and
standalone (SA) mode.”
Following the CAG #63 meeting held in July 2020, Keysight
announced that the company was first to gain validation of 5G USIM
protocol conformance test cases. At the most recent CAG meeting, it
was confirmed that Keysight’s 5G conformance toolset uniquely
delivers GCF-validated RF and radio resource management (RRM) test
cases for verifying multi-carrier 5G NR devices that operate in NSA
and SA mode and use frequency range 1 (FR1) and FR2 spectrum. 5G
device test solutions that support multi-carrier is important to 5G
chipset and device vendors validating designs that use carrier
aggregation (CA) technology to support much wider bandwidths and
higher data rates.
