5G radio is more challenging to evaluate than previous cellular technologies and devices must be tested under potential usage conditions. Learn how Advanced Channel Modeling (ACM) software gives developers an easy-to-use graphical user interface for creating realistic use cases. 5G is here—and with more products being developed and released to consumers at a record pace, […]
Standards are now in place to bring low earth orbit (LEO) satellites into the 5G cellular network. The business dynamics of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are challenging, leaving the question of how to commercialize LEO satellites as part of 5G and how to assure comprehensive validation of these offerings. Optimism around the potential to capitalize on […]
The undeniable efficiency, speed and near-term cost savings associated with moving 5G virtual network functions (VNFs) to the cloud makes it a potential path operators must explore. Learn why this approach is not without risks and which testing practices help overcome these challenges. For starters, it’s completely unproven. As we covered in a previous post, […]
Some time-critical applications rely on ultra-low latency over multiple network hops to function properly. In this blog, you’ll explore ways of configuring the schedule traffic quickly while assuring it works as expected. Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of standards designed to enable deterministic communication for ethernet based networks. TSN offers different tools for different […]
5G is introducing tight integration with satellites to expand high-speed coverage into hard-to-reach areas and support maritime applications. This presents a whole new set of challenges for satellite transceiver performance. Next-gen network deployments are ramping up around the world, but there is more to 5G than land-based New Radios and the new Packet Core. 5G […]
Satellite broadband products and services are expected to generate over $200 billion in annual service revenue by 2030, serving more than 350 million direct satellite-to-device subscribers. New Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems will provide connectivity where none exists, supporting the underserved and remote use cases. This brings new challenges of complexity that must be […]
This blog covers the tremendous achievements in MIMO OTA testing standards in both 3GPP RAN4 and CTIA witnessed in 2020.
