EMITE and Rohde & Schwarz Revolutionize OTA Measurements for Wi-Fi 7 and 5G RedCap: Integrating Cutting-Edge Testing Capabilities

EMITE and Rohde & Schwarz are working together to improve EMITE's Over-the-Air (OTA) measurement solutions by incorporating the new test features of the R&S CMX500 multi-technology, multi-channel signaling tester. This integration allows for not only LTE, FR1, and FR2 support but also compliance with the latest WLAN standard IEEE 802.11be and 5G RedCap.

EMITE has partnered with Rohde & Schwarz to integrate their advanced over-the-air chambers with the R&S CMX500 one-box signaling tester. This radio communication tester can test a variety of devices, including those using LTE, 5G NR FR1 up to 8 GHz, and FR2 millimeter wave frequency up to 50 GHz, along with 5G RedCap technology. It also supports non-cellular technologies like Wi-Fi 7, all within one instrument. This collaboration provides EMITE's customers with a comprehensive testing environment for accurately evaluating the performance of Wi-Fi 7 and 5G Red Cap devices.

EMITE's advanced OTA chambers are fully prepared to meet the demanding testing needs of both current and upcoming wireless technologies. The next phase of the partnership involves exploring the integration of test capabilities for NB-IoT NTN and NR NTN, which are already supported by the R&S CMW500 and R&S CMX500.

Wi-Fi 7, also known as the IEEE 802.11be standard, is the upcoming iteration of Wi-Fi technology aimed at providing significantly higher data speeds than its predecessor, Wi-Fi 6/6E (IEEE 802.11ax). This new standard is designed to handle data rates of up to tens of gigabits per second with minimal delays, in order to cater to the increasing need for high-quality video streaming, virtual reality, and augmented reality experiences.

RedCap is a type of 5G technology that was introduced in the 3GPP Release 17. It is a simplified version of 5G that is more cost-effective than the standard 5G eMBB. RedCap offers moderate data speeds, efficient power usage, simple design, and can accommodate a high number of devices. These features make it ideal for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

David A. Sánchez-Hernández, the CEO of EMITE, expressed that EMITE is dedicated to providing high-quality products and ensuring customer satisfaction. He announced the upgrade of their testing chambers with the R&S CMX500, which will allow customers to test the IEEE 802.11be standard and Red Cap devices. This partnership demonstrates EMITE's commitment to offering advanced testing solutions that cater to the changing needs of the telecommunications industry.

Christoph Pointner, who holds the position of Senior Vice President of Mobile Radio Testers at Rohde & Schwarz, expressed his satisfaction with the increased partnership with EMITE. By integrating the R&S CMX500 signaling tester into EMITE's OTA chambers, customers can have assurance that their devices have been thoroughly tested to ensure they meet top standards of reliability and efficiency for the latest technologies.
