From the introduction of the 5G standard to the development of compatible test setups – this Infographic takes you on the journey when 5G testing is born

It will also introduce advanced test solutions such as the CMX500 mobile radio tester. This innovative tool is designed for multi-orbit and multi-band testing, enabling comprehensive evaluation of wireless devices in NTN environments. This session discovers market trends and unique use cases of 3GPP NTN, featuring the CMX500 mobile radio tester for multi-orbit and multi-band device evaluation.

The R&S CMX500 radio communication tester empowers network operators to evaluate XR-based applications and services in a controlled environment, ensuring optimal performance and quality before mainstream deployment.

Rohde & Schwarz's unique NR-NTN testing solution, powered by the R&S CMX500 radio communication tester, offers highly sophisticated but user-friendly protocol testing and RF measurements to ensure optimal performance of your NR-NTN device. This is the first step in our comprehensive NR-NTN journey on the R&S CMX500 platform. Our goal is to keep your devices ahead in this fast-paced digital world.

The solution is based on the R&S CMX500 radio communication tester that supports end-to-end testing of all signaling use cases and SmartViser’s viSer test automation application. 5G, LTE, mobile device testing, Mobile Word Congress, Radio Communcation Tester Video: Power consumption testing for smartphone energy labeling

The R&S CMX500 radio communication tester is adding the next radio interface to its technology coverage, namely Wi-Fi. This enables users of the Rohde & Schwarz one-box tester to test the non-cellular interface up to the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard in addition to the cellular 4G and 5G interfaces of a device.

This demo showcases the first 5G test cases in FR1, where the CMX500 one-box tester (OBT) is connected to the Device Under Test (DUT) to simulate specified test scenarios that integrate base stations and satellites.

The first episode of a new video series will take a look at where 5G is today, explore the unique challenges for test and measurement and discover innovative solutions such as the R&S CMX500 radio communication tester.

The CMX500 OBT creates a signaling environment by transmitting an FR3 cell signal at 13 GHz, simulating real-world conditions, and conducts a comprehensive analysis to verify the device's ability to achieve maximum throughput, making the CMX500 OBT the ideal choice for FR3 research and development.

The web-based GUI application controls the R&S®CMX500 radio communication test platform and enables to perform these measurements in parallel with end-to-end (E2E) tests and with power controlling the 5G device.
