EMITE and Rohde & Schwarz Collaborate to Enhance OTA Measurements for Wi-Fi 7 and 5G RedCap Devices

EMITE and Rohde & Schwarz are working together to improve EMITE's Over-the-Air (OTA) measurement solutions by incorporating the advanced test features of the R&S CMX500 multi-technology, multi-channel signaling tester. This integration allows for support of LTE, FR1, FR2, IEEE 802.11be WLAN standard, and 5G RedCap.

EMITE's advanced over-the-air chambers can now be used alongside the advanced testing features of the R&S CMX500 one-box signaling tester from Rohde & Schwarz. This radio communication tester can test a wide range of devices, including those using LTE, 5G NR in the FR1 frequency range up to 8 GHz, and FR2 millimeter wave frequency range up to 50 GHz, including the latest 5G RedCap technology. It also supports non-cellular technologies like Wi-Fi 7, all in one device. By working together, EMITE's customers can now accurately evaluate the performance of Wi-Fi 7 and 5G Red Cap devices in a comprehensive testing environment.

EMITE's updated 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 IEEE 802.11be, is an upcoming standard in Wi-Fi technology that aims to provide significantly faster data transfer speeds compared to its predecessor Wi-Fi 6/6E (IEEE 802.11ax). With the capability to handle large amounts of data per second and minimal delays, Wi-Fi 7 is ideal for applications like ultra-high-definition video streaming, virtual reality, and augmented reality experiences that require high performance.

RedCap is a type of 5G technology that is specified in the 3GPP Release 17 standards. It is a simplified version of 5G that is much cheaper than 5G eMBB. RedCap is known for its moderate data speeds, efficient energy usage, simple design, and capability to connect to many devices. Because of these features, it is especially well-suited for Internet of Things (IoT) uses.

The CEO of EMITE, David A. Sánchez-Hernández, expressed the company's dedication to providing high-quality products and ensuring customer satisfaction. EMITE is thrilled to enhance their testing chambers with the R&S CMX500, which will allow customers to expand their capabilities to meet the IEEE 802.11be standard and Red Cap devices. This collaboration demonstrates EMITE's commitment to offering advanced testing solutions that meet the changing needs of the telecommunications industry.

Christoph Pointner, who is the Senior Vice President of Mobile Radio Testers at Rohde & Schwarz, expressed his excitement about advancing their partnership with EMITE. By integrating the R&S CMX500 one-box signaling tester into the EMITE OTA chambers portfolio, they are able to provide EMITE's customers with assurance that their devices have been thoroughly tested to ensure they meet the highest standards of reliability and efficiency for the latest technologies.
