Rohde & Schwarz and 5G

Be ahead in 5G - Be ready for the future

5G NR testing - are you ready for the 5G challenges?

The next major step in mobile communications beyond LTE (4G) sets challenging requirements.

5G will change the way we communicate. The next generation of mobile networks, 5G, introduces a paradigm shift towards a user and application centric technology framework, with the goal of flexibly supporting three important use case families:

  • Enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)
  • Massive machine type communications (mMTC)
  • Ultra-reliable, low latency communications (URLLC)

Reiner Stuhlfauth, Technology Manager, Rohde & Schwarz

The underlying technologies and technical solutions of 5G New Radio are complex. To ensure interoperability and reliable functioning, all aspects must be thoroughly tested long before 5G makes its way from the lab to the field. This includes testing individual components such as antennas, complete base stations, end devices and also the quality of services in a mobile communications network.
