Launching a hardware product requires design, prototyping, compliance, manufacturing, component obsolescence management, and supply chain capabilities. Having the right technology partner with proven expertise in the complete hardware lifecycle management is critical for successful projects. The need is even greater for historically software-driven organizations.
With...
The 5G economy is driven by major shifts in how digital services are delivered to market and consumed by customers. Adapting to these is critical to ensuring CSPs can maximize the return on their investment in 5G.
In order to effectively capture all new revenue...
The main driver behind the development of 5G networks has always been improved data services: higher mobile data rates and reduced latency, etc. However, the legacy services of voice and video communications remain key elements for mobile services, and subscribers continue to demand them.
It...
Modus is a leading Telecom Services company operating in the Western U.S., specializing in network deployment, construction, and maintenance. After being awarded key contracts off the back of successful execution, Modus soon found itself outgrowing the Excel and Google spreadsheets that they had previously...
Download our 5G field test eBook. Discover which RF field tests ensure a smooth 5G network deployment. Keysight’s FieldFox handheld analyzer equipped with 5G NR software can perform the essential field tests you need. It easily handles 5G NR EMF measurements, coverage mapping, SSB...
The high cost of 5G deployment, coupled with an ongoing margin squeeze, means that CSPs are under pressure to finalise and validate the business case for deploying 5G networks. Setting the right approach and systems for extracting revenue from new, 5G-enabled, use cases is...
In mobile communications, increasing capacity and extending coverage are the most important factors to operators.
KMW implemented OPRA that has applied Orthogonal Polarization Reuse to increase capacity and extend coverage simultaneously.
OPRA reuses different orthogonal polarizations on multi-beam, significantly reducing the correlation between beams, and increasing capacity by 36% and...
5G, along with companion technologies like mobile edge computing, data analytics, and artificial intelligence, is viewed as foundational to digital transformation of enterprises in virtually all high-value verticals. But to live up to that vision, operators will have to spend billions of capital dollars...
The transformative power of 5G is now starting to be felt in industry, bringing ultra-high data rates, ultra-low latency and unprecedented reliability to IoT applications in enterprise.Market-leading IoT module supplier Quectel, the first to market with 5G modules, has published a white paper exploring...
The fifth generation in wireless mobile communications, 5G NR (New Radio), has a new, more efficient over the air format. 5G can operate in both RF and millimeter wave bands, bringing higher data rates, reduced latency, increased reliability, lower energy consumption and greater system...
Massive MIMO technology has been deployed for capacity improvement as the 5G NR system. However, in the aspect of coverage expansion, there has been no satisfactory solution so far.
KMW applies the Modular Architecture technology to develop the mMIMO RU (64TRx, 640W, 25kg) with the...
If you’re making wideband signal analyzer measurements, magnitude and phase errors introduced by cables and fixtures may be impacting your results in ways you haven’t encountered at narrower bandwidths.
Keysight’s new RCal helps you easily calibrate out errors from your measurement setup, improving your test...
According to GSMA, 4G accounted for 52% of mobile connections in 2019 and will increase to 56% by 2025; meanwhile, 5G will roughly take 20% share.Unlike the moderate pace in the access side, RAN (Radio Access Network) architecture migration is accelerating and driven by...
Despite the increase in sophistication of wireless standards and devices over the years, cellular technologies maintain a set of common principles that form the basis behind the design of cellular systems. Certain principles are highly likely to be incorporated into 6G systems, whatever that...
To understand the ability of a 5G network slice to support a particular use case such as Industry 4.0 or Augmented Reality, it is necessary to measure the key performance parameters of throughput, latency and continuity.
