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

EMITE and Rohde & Schwarz are working together to improve EMITE's 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 has advanced over-the-air chambers that can now be paired with the latest testing capabilities of the R&S CMX500 signaling tester from Rohde & Schwarz. This radio communication tester can test a variety of devices, supporting cellular technologies like LTE, 5G NR in both the FR1 frequency range up to 8 GHz and the FR2 millimeter wave frequency range up to 50 GHz, including the latest 5G RedCap technology. It also has the ability to test non-cellular technologies like Wi-Fi 7, all within one instrument. This collaboration provides EMITE's customers with a complete setup for accurately evaluating the performance of Wi-Fi 7 and 5G Red Cap devices.

EMITE's upgraded OTA chambers are ready to meet the demanding testing needs of both present and upcoming wireless technologies. The next focus of the partnership involves incorporating testing functions for NB-IoT NTN and NR NTN, which are currently supported by the R&S CMW500 and R&S CMX500.

Wi-Fi 7, also known as the IEEE 802.11be standard, is the latest advancement in Wi-Fi technology. It is specifically designed to provide exceptionally fast data speeds that outperform the current Wi-Fi 6/6E standard (IEEE 802.11ax). With the capability to handle tens of gigabits of data per second and minimal delays, Wi-Fi 7 is able to meet the increasing need for high-definition video streaming, as well as virtual reality and augmented reality experiences.

RedCap is a technology related to 5G that was introduced in 3GPP Release 17. It is a simpler and more cost-effective version of 5G designed for specific applications. RedCap offers moderate data speeds, requires less power, is less complex, and can connect to many devices, making it ideal for Internet of Things (IoT) uses.

As the CEO of EMITE, David A. Sánchez-Hernández expressed the company's dedication to providing high-quality products and ensuring customer satisfaction. He announced the upgrade of their testing chambers with the R&S CMX500, allowing customers to test the IEEE 802.11be standard and Red Cap devices. This partnership highlights EMITE's commitment to offering advanced testing solutions that meet 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 satisfaction in taking the partnership with EMITE to a higher level. By integrating Rohde & Schwarz's R&S CMX500 one-box signaling tester into EMITE's OTA chambers portfolio, customers can now have assurance that their devices have undergone rigorous testing to ensure they meet the highest standards of performance and reliability for the latest technologies.
