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

5G NR deployment is in full swing creating numerous opportunities for new devices and infrastructure equipment

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)

5G NR is the first communications standard designed to support a wide variety of consumer and industry applications. 3GPP release 15 laid the foundation for 5G NR by introducing new, flexible numerology, advanced channel coding and modulation schemes. Enabling wider channel bandwidths and extended carrier aggregation schemes while also extending frequencies into the millimeterwave range make more radio resources available.

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.
