CMW500 wideband radio communication tester

Network emulation

RF testing under realistic conditions

When developing wireless devices communications interfaces need to be tested under realistic network conditions. The CMW emulates the base station for all major cellular technologies from LTE to GSM and in addition wireless connectivity like WLAN and Bluetooth.

5G development

5G NR sub 6 GHz network emulation

Fifth generation (5G) mobile communications will support mixed operation with LTE in non-standalone (NSA) mode, which will predominate in the first few years. Together with CMX500 radio communication tester, the tried-and-tested CMW500 supports 5G NSA test scenarios.

Wireless connectivity

Comprehensive network emulation

Bluetooth and WLAN are indispensable in the modern world of communications.Modern smartphones transmit most of their data with these two technologies for an indefinite time.The CMW500 supports versatile testing for Bluetooth Classic and Low Energy, including all defined Bluetooth SIG RF signaling tests. The CMW500 supports WLAN signaling testing from IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n up to 11ac and 11ax.

All in one

One tester for all layers and all phases of the product lifecycle

From RF to protocol to IP application – all layers are covered in a single instrument. The modular CMW platform covers all test requirements from development to certification and network optimization to production and service.

User experience testing

Test sequences by remote control

The CMW test platform can perform, document and evaluate complex user experience tests under simulated, yet realistic conditions. An CMW tester combined with the R&S®CMWrun automation tool provides an enormous test bandwidth that is unmatched on the market.

Standard-compliant test of automotive eCall systems

The CMW500 and R&S®SMBV100B are the ideal for ensuring 100% reliable eCall modules that can rapidly send alerts and enable stabile communications between rescue services and a vehicle involved in a collision.
Supported standards:

• eCall – Europe
• NGeCall – Europe
• ERA Glonass – Russian Federation

IP application testing and traffic analysis

Tests under fully controlled network conditions  

Deep packet inspection (DPI) helps reliably analyze IP streams from the application software for conformity and security. IP traffic, OTT behavior and battery life can be optimized for applications and mobile devices. The CMW platform offers an efficient test environment for complex IP application testing of various technologies.

C-V2X testing in a lab environment

Vehicle to everything (V2X) is a new generation of information and communications technologies that connect vehicles to everything and helps improve road safety and effectively manage traffic flows. Rohde & Schwarz bases the integrated setup on the CMW500 wideband radio communication tester and the R&S®SMBV100B GNSS simulator for data transmission-, data reception and performance testing with various fading profiles as well as GCF validated protocol conformance testing.
