U.S. mobile operator selects Keysight’s 5G
network emulation solutions to validate performance of new 5G
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 Sprint has selected Keysight’s 5G network emulation solutions
to validate the performance of 5G new radio (NR) mobile devices,
accelerating U.S. 5G commercial deployment of fixed wireless access
(FWA) and enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) applications.
This collaboration leverages Keysight’s 5G Protocol and RF
Carrier Acceptance Toolsets – part of the company’s suite of 5G
network emulation solutions – to optimize the end-users’ experience
while accessing 5G services on the mobile operator’s network. In
addition, the collaboration has resulted in a carrier-specific test
plan covering both protocol and radio frequency (RF) tests in
frequency range 1 (FR1). The test plan supports a wide range of use
cases and mobility scenarios, including voice calls, access to data
intensive applications and battery life to ensure new 5G NR devices
deliver a superior subscriber experience.
Keysight’s 5G Carrier Acceptance Toolsets support a leading
number of carrier acceptance 5G NR RF and protocol test cases as
mandated by Sprint and other major U.S. mobile operators. Sprint
also uses Keysight’s Nemo RAN analytics software solutions to
automate the acceptance of new 5G sites, leading to faster network
implementation and improved quality of service.
“Keysight is pleased to support Sprint’s nationwide launch of
commercial 5G services with our 5G network emulation solutions for
device acceptance,” said Kailash Narayanan, vice president and
general manager of Keysight's Wireless Test group. “Keysight’s 5G
test solutions, adopted by the world’s leading chipset and device
makers, enable major carriers such as Sprint to confirm that their
new 5G NR devices operate with superior performance on their
networks.”
Keysight's 5G network emulation solutions enable device makers
in all key markets, including the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Europe,
and China, to address 5G design challenges. The solution suite
provides early access to a comprehensive range of test cases on a
common platform. By addressing global test requirements on a single
solution platform, Keysight enables the mobile industry to achieve
rapid validation of device performance and consistent results,
accelerating certification of 5G multi-mode devices in different
form factors.
