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

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 in conjunction with the cutting-edge testing capabilities of the R&S CMX500 one-box signaling tester from Rohde & Schwarz. This radio communication tester can test a wide range of devices, supporting LTE, 5G NR FR1 up to 8 GHz, and FR2 millimeter wave frequency 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 a single instrument. Through this partnership, EMITE's customers can access a comprehensive testing environment for accurately evaluating the performance of Wi-Fi 7 and 5G Red Cap devices.

The updated OTA chambers from EMITE are well-equipped to meet the demanding testing needs of both present 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 latest advancement in Wi-Fi technology aimed at providing significantly higher data speeds compared to Wi-Fi 6/6E (IEEE 802.11ax). With the ability to deliver tens of gigabits of data per second and minimal delays, Wi-Fi 7 is designed to meet the increasing need for ultra-clear video streaming, virtual reality, and augmented reality experiences.

RedCap is a type of 5G technology that was introduced in 3GPP Release 17. It is a simplified version of 5G that is more cost-effective than 5G eMBB. RedCap offers moderate data speeds, consumes less power, has simpler technology, and can accommodate a large number of devices. These features make it a popular choice for IoT applications.

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 its testing chambers by incorporating the R&S CMX500, which will allow customers to test devices according to the IEEE 802.11be standard and Red Cap devices. This collaboration highlights 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 satisfaction in further enhancing their partnership with EMITE. By integrating Rohde & Schwarz's R&S CMX500 signaling tester into EMITE's OTA chambers portfolio, customers can have assurance in deploying their devices for the newest technologies, as they have been extensively tested to ensure high reliability and efficiency.
