EMITE and Rohde & Schwarz Collaborate to Advance 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 cutting-edge over-the-air chambers can now be integrated with the advanced 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, FR2 millimeter wave frequency up to 50 GHz, and the latest 5G RedCap technology. It also has the ability to test non-cellular technologies like Wi-Fi 7, all within one instrument. Through this partnership, EMITE's customers have access to a comprehensive setup for accurately evaluating the performance of Wi-Fi 7 and 5G Red Cap devices.
EMITE's upgraded OTA chambers are equipped to meet the demanding testing needs of both current and upcoming wireless technologies. The next phase of the partnership involves exploring the integration of testing capabilities for NB-IoT NTN and NR NTN, which are already supported by the R&S CMW500 and R&S CMX500.
The IEEE 802.11be standard, also known as Wi-Fi 7, is the upcoming Wi-Fi technology that offers faster data transfer rates compared to the current IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6/6E). It is designed to handle large amounts of data at speeds of tens of gigabits per second with minimal delay, meeting the needs for high-quality 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 more affordable option compared to full 5G eMBB, offering mid-range data speeds, low energy usage, simple design, and the capability to connect to multiple devices. This makes it ideal for use in IoT applications.
David A. Sánchez-Hernández, who is the CEO of EMITE, mentioned that the company prioritizes quality and ensuring customer satisfaction. He expressed enthusiasm about enhancing their testing chambers with the R&S CMX500, which will allow customers to expand their capabilities to support the IEEE 802.11be standard and Red Cap devices. This collaboration highlights EMITE's commitment to providing 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 satisfaction in enhancing the partnership with EMITE. By integrating the R&S CMX500 one-box signaling tester into EMITE's OTA chambers portfolio, they ensure that EMITE's customers can confidently launch their devices for new technologies, as their products have been thoroughly tested to meet high standards of reliability and efficiency.
