Keysight’s 5G test platforms validate
smartphones that rely on high data rates to support enhanced mobile
broadband applications
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology
company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments
accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced
that the company’s 5G test solutions have been selected by SK
Telecom to validate that 5G devices used for enhanced mobile
broadband (eMBB) applications perform as intended on the mobile
operator’s network prior to commercial introduction.
SK Telecom, one of the world’s first mobile operators to launch
5G smartphone services, selected Keysight’s 5G test solutions to
verify that 5G devices deliver expected data throughput on the
mobile operator’s network. Nearly three million subscribers of SK
Telecom’s 5G services depend on superior data performance to
seamlessly access advanced services such as video, augmented
reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) services, as well as cloud
gaming on smartphones.
“Keysight is pleased to support SK Telecom’s vision of creating
a hyper-connected society,” said Kailash Narayanan, vice president
of Keysight and general manager of Keysight’s wireless test group.
“Keysight’s test solutions and multi-domain technology expertise
enable mobile operators, such as SK Telecom, to successfully
leverage 5G for consumers as well as industry applications in
automotive, entertainment and commerce.”
A comprehensive set of protocol carrier acceptance test cases
accessible via Keysight’s UXM 5G wireless test platform enable SK
Telecom’s ecosystem of 5G device vendors to verify that designs
equipped with E-UTRAN new radio dual-connectivity (ENDC) technology
to deliver maximum data throughput. ENDC supports the delivery of
seamless handovers and higher data rates by enabling a device to
aggregate LTE and 5G data streams received as separate component
carriers.
The two companies initiated a collaboration in 2018 to address
challenges in the development of MIMO, mmWave, massive MIMO and
beamforming technologies. A wide range of solutions from Keysight
have been used in SK Telecom, including 5G test solutions for
validating the protocol, radio frequency (RF) and radio resource
management performance of a 5G device across frequency range 1
(FR1) and FR2. Keysight is currently the only 5G test vendor to
support SK Telecom and the mobile operator’s ecosystem of device
vendors in verifying the data performance of 5G devices.
