With the rollout of technologies such as IoT and 5G, mobile network operators need to overcome the challenges of increasingly complex air interfaces and demanding use cases in order to deliver the required quality of experience (QoE) to end users. The new SmartAnalytics software, part of the Smart platform from Rohde & Schwarz , combines high-quality data acquisition with intelligent postprocessing analytics to generate QoE-centric network insights. It allows operators to identify critical factors influencing quality and performance for the purposes of network optimization and benchmarking.

Most network operators will implement 5G New Radio (NR) as an extension of their existing LTE mobile network (NSA). As a result, mobile devices will have to function in both worlds simultaneously. That is why Rohde & Schwarz developed the R&S CMX500 radio communication tester for 5G NR that can be seamlessly integrated into an existing LTE test environment. It is also ideal for tests in 5G NR standalone (SA) mode.

Test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz and Swedish over-the-air (OTA) reverberation test system manufacturer Bluetest cooperate on assisted global navigation satellite system (A-GNSS) OTA testing concepts for antenna measurements. The proof of concept solution integrating the Rohde & Schwarz LBS Server and Bluetest OTA test solution was demonstrated at Rohde & Schwarz headquarters in Munich.

5G devices operating in the mmWave range (FR2), such as smartphones and tablets, require over-the-air (OTA) testing since these devices usually have no RF port or interface to connect to, and conducted tests are therefore not possible. Rohde & Schwarz introduces new products for RF parametric testing in both the FR1 and FR2 frequency ranges.

At MWC 2019, CommSolid (a Goodix company) will present an IoT reference design integrating its NB-IoT and Bluetooth® SOCs. The manufacturer uses the R&S CMW290 IoT radio communication testers for RF and functional testing of both transmission methods. At Embedded World 2019 in Nuremberg, which takes place in parallel to MWC in Barcelona, Rohde & Schwarz will demonstrate the realistic measurements that make this device solution possible.

Rohde & Schwarz and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, have successfully validated 5G NR cellular sub 6 GHz signaling tests, bringing the commercial roll-out of 5G NR one step closer. The end-to-end tests were done using the new R&S CMX500 radio communication tester, which will debut at Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona. With this new test platform along with the R&S CMP200 and R&S CMW100 , Rohde & Schwarz is completing its portfolio for standard compliant device tests for 5G NR .

MediaTek leverages Rohde & Schwarz’s high performance turnkey OTA system for device transmitter and receiver tests to meet the challenges of 5G deployment.

At IDEX 2019 in Abu Dhabi, Rohde & Schwarz will demonstrate its proficiency as a systems partner and integrator who plans, develops and implements secure communications architectures and networks. SOVERON provides digital sovereignty throughout the chains of command for all branches of the armed forces.

Rohde & Schwarz has announced a collaboration with automotive E/E networking specialist Vector on a state-of-the-art cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) application layer test solution. The companies’ integrated test platform, which will be showcased for the first time at Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona, combines the R&S CMW500 network simulator and the R&S SMBV100A/B GNSS simulator operating together with Vector’s CANoe .Car2x , a comprehensive software tool for simulation, development and test of V2X-based Communication Applications.

As an infrastructure for smart cities and smart industries, the internet of things (IoT) is largely based on wireless components. Smooth component interaction, secure communications and long service life are essential success factors for this infrastructure. They can be optimized with the innovative test solutions Rohde & Schwarz designed specifically for this purpose. At Mobile World Congress, Rohde & Schwarz will present groundbreaking test scenarios with its R&S CMW platform of wireless testers.
