5G/6G

Parallel Wireless has announced an extension of their 2018 partnership to help global Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) bring the benefits of automation in the webscale data centre to the heterogeneous embedded systems environment of the RAN across 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G.

A 5G Site Testing Solution must test new capabilities, such as beamforming and 5G/LTE dual connectivity, to verify the correct installation and performance and to ensure that the required quality of service (QoS) is delivered to end users.

ipoque, a Rohde & Schwarz company, has announced that a feature upgrade of their telco analytics solution R&S INTRA now allows efficient monitoring and traffic analytics of networks adopting 5G non-standalone mode (5G NSA). The new feature was requested by a mobile network operator (MNO) in order to be able to roll out their 5G adoption strategy.

Anritsu Corporation is pleased to announce that Bureau Veritas Customer Products Service division, Electrical & Electronic, Automotive, Wireless (E.A.W.) Business Line in Taiwan has completed setup Anritsu’s 5G solution Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A for device verification, 5G NR Mobile Device Test Platform ME7834NR for protocol conformance testing and New Radio RF Conformance Test System ME7873NR for RF/RRM conformance testi...

Marvell has announced its dual 400GbE (Gigabit Ethernet) MACsec PHY transceiver with 256-bit encryption and Class C compliant precision time protocol (PTP) timestamping, bringing advanced performance, security and transfer speeds for next-generation networking infrastructure.

Keysight Technologies has announced an extended collaboration with Samsung Electronics' LSI Business, a specialist in semiconductor components and 5G technology, to validate dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) technology used in the smartphone maker's new 5G modem.

The Global Certification Forum GCF and PTCRB certification organisation have accepted first test case validations in various FR1 and LTE band combinations using the new Rohde & Schwarz R&S TS RRM 5G radio resource management (RRM) conformance test system. The solution is the latest addition to a successful family of RRM conformance test systems.

Early engagements by Keysight Technologies with all four U.S. mobile operators has resulted in more than 600 validated test cases, which are critical to the operators' respective 5G device acceptance plans. Keysight's 5G network emulation solution suite has also also delivered the leading number of 5G NR test cases validated by major operators in other countries, including China, Korea and Japan.

Imec has presented a functional GaAs-based heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) devices on 300mm Si, and CMOS-compatible GaN-based devices on 200mm Si for mm-wave applications. The results demonstrate the potential of both III-V-on-Si and GaN-on-Si as CMOS-compatible technologies for enabling RF front-end modules for beyond 5G applications. They were presented at last year’s IEDM conference.

IoT, artificial intelligence, edge computing and 5G technology will be on display Secutech, which returns to the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Centre from 22nd to 24th April 2020. Commercial security and fire safety solutions will take centre stage at the fair, and in order to reflect the cross-sector influence of AI and the IoT, Secutech 2020 will also feature dedicated zones for the smart building and mobility sectors.
