In the evolving landscape of 5G networks, leveraging frequency ranges FR1 (0.41 to 7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 to 71 GHz) has been pivotal.

Together, Rohde & Schwarz and Sony Semiconductor Israel (Sony) have achieved the industry’s first 3GPP Rel. 17 NTN NB-IoT RF performance verification.

Autotalks has used test expertise and equipment from Rohde & Schwarz to verify the performance of their third-generation V2X chipset.

At the recent Conformance Agreement Group (CAG) #77 meeting, Rohde & Schwarz has successfully verified the NTN NB-IoT test cases of work item 333 using its R&S CMW500 radio communication tester, allowing the Global Certification Forum (GCF) to activate the work item in their device certification program.

The metaverse and extended reality (XR) applications are considered critical to unlocking the full consumer potential of the 5G technology. Rigorous testing is crucial to ensure the performance and market acceptance of these immersive experiences.

As 5G technology evolves, non-3GPP networks such as public, home and enterprise WLAN hotspots will be more and more interlinked with the 5G core. As a result, tomorrow’s smartphones will rely even more on the next generations of WLAN technology, which will be more powerful and efficient, but also more complex.

Always at the forefront of technological innovation, Rohde & Schwarz is shaping the future of the mobile industry with its comprehensive range of test and measurement solutions.

The popular industry event, Demystifying EMC, is scheduled for February 6, 2024. Hosted by Rohde & Schwarz, this one-day virtual conference kicks off a program of EMC industry expert sessions from Rohde & Schwarz and partners from the commercial and academic worlds. Participants will obtain essential updates on EMC standards and gain insights and practical tips from the live broadcast conference.

This past November, Rohde & Schwarz hosted the Mobile Test Summit, a platform for industry professionals to share insights on the latest trends in mobile device and infrastructure testing. This year’s event covered a wide range of topics, such as 5G NTN, 5G RedCap, mission critical services, Wi-Fi 7, O-RAN and XR. For those who could not join the live event, Rohde & Schwarz is offering on-demand recordings of all the presentations online.

The Electronic Communications Office of Iceland (ECOI) has selected Rohde & Schwarz mobile network testing to assess and benchmark the performance, coverage and capacity of the country's three mobile network operators.
