Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:KEYS) today announced it will
participate in a joint demonstration on next-generation 5G wireless
communication systems as part of the 5G collaboration project with
China Mobile Communications Co. Ltd. Research Institute (CMRI) at
Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, Mar. 2-5. China Mobile is the
world’s largest mobile network operator and a market leader in
3G/LTE and next-generation wireless network development.
Keysight Technologies and China Mobile Research Institute signed
a memorandum of understanding in Beijing in June 2014 to initiate a
collaboration focused on developing and providing test and
measurement solutions for 5G wireless communication systems. Since
June, teams from both companies have been working closely on the 5G
collaboration project and have made very good progress.
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Keysight will
participate in a demonstration with China Mobile to showcase the
progress the two companies have made. The demonstration will focus
on large-scale antenna systems based on CMRI’s new SmarTile unit.
The SmarTile-based, Invisible Base Station is a new concept and
brings additional challenges as compared to the more traditional
approach, chief among them is system verification and testing. In
this demonstration, the signal quality and multi-channel
beam-forming capability of large-scale antenna systems is measured
and validated with Keysight’s multi-channel analyzer and 89600 VSA
software.
“CMCC Research Institute started its 5G key technologies R&D
program in 2011,” said Dr. Chih-Lin I, Chief Scientist of Wireless
Technologies, CMCC Research Institute. “We have made substantial
progress in various key technology areas and established
collaborations with global partners on 5G research. The joint
demonstration at the Mobile World Congress this time is from the 5G
collaboration between Keysight and CMRI, and is a very important
part of the overall 5G roadmap from CMCC. We are very happy with
the progress of the collaboration with Keysight so far, and are
very confident in the continuous effectiveness of our 5G research
together.”
“As the leader in test and measurement, Keysight will continue
working on 5G research with CMCC’s research institute and other
partners to define and provide test tools for next-generation
wireless systems,” said Andy Botka, Keysight vice president and
general manager of the Microwave and Communications Division. “Our
goal is to demonstrate and strengthen the technical leadership of
both companies.”
Keysight’s collaborative work with CMRI on 5G research reflects
the strong commitment by Keysight to support industry leaders in
the development of next-generation wireless technologies.
