- Verified test case submission includes protocol conformance for
narrowband internet of things hosted over non-terrestrial
networks
- Test case will enable device and module makers to begin
verifying standards compliance of designs supporting advanced NTN
features
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) has submitted the first
protocol conformance test case for the 3rd Generation Partnership
Project’s (3GPP) Release 17 (Rel-17) standards for non-terrestrial
networks (NTN) using narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT)
technology. The submission was verified using the Keysight Protocol
Conformance Toolset.
Based on satellite-to-ground communication, NTNs bring secure,
reliable, and high bandwidth connectivity to remote areas that do
not have terrestrial network coverage. Widespread NTN deployments
can improve economic conditions in remote areas with industries
such as agriculture, energy, health, and transportation using
low-cost and low-powered NB-IoT devices for applications including
remote sensing, asset tracking, and surveillance.
Keysight’s Protocol Conformance Toolset provides a comprehensive
suite of test cases prioritized by the Global Certification Forum
(GCF) and the PTCRB that is used to certify the standards
compliance of new mobile devices. Once the test case is approved by
the 3GPP, network equipment, chipset, and device makers will be
able to speed market introductions of devices and modules
supporting advanced NTN features.
Muthu Kumaran, General Manager, Keysight, said: "This
3GPP Release 17 NB-IoT NTN test case submission underscores
Keysight's leadership in the NTN device ecosystem and our
commitment to giving the industry the tools it needs to rapidly
adopt new 3GPP specifications and roll out new devices.”
