EMITE and Rohde & Schwarz Revolutionize OTA Measurements for Wi-Fi 7 and 5G RedCap with Integration of R&S CMX500
EMITE and Rohde & Schwarz are working together to improve EMITE's Over-the-Air (OTA) measurement solutions by incorporating the advanced testing features of the R&S CMX500 multi-technology, multi-channel one-box signaling tester. This integration not only supports LTE, FR1, and FR2, but also ensures compliance with the latest WLAN standard IEEE 802.11be and 5G RedCap.
EMITE's advanced over-the-air chambers can now be used alongside 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 cellular technologies like LTE and 5G NR up to 8 GHz, as well as millimeter wave frequencies up to 50 GHz, including 5G RedCap technology. It also has the ability to test non-cellular technologies like Wi-Fi 7, all within a single instrument. This partnership provides EMITE's customers with a comprehensive solution for accurately evaluating the performance of both Wi-Fi 7 and 5G Red Cap devices.
EMITE's upgraded OTA chambers are fully prepared to meet the demanding testing needs of both existing 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.
The IEEE 802.11be standard, also known as Wi-Fi 7, is the latest advancement in Wi-Fi technology and is designed to provide significantly higher data speeds compared to its predecessor, IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6/6E). With the ability to handle tens of gigabits of data per second and minimal delay, Wi-Fi 7 caters 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 3GPP Release 17. It is a simpler and more cost-effective version of 5G eMBB, with lower data speeds but still able to support a large number of devices. RedCap is known for its moderate data throughput, energy efficiency, simplicity, and ability to connect to numerous devices, making it a popular choice for IoT applications.
The CEO of EMITE, David A. Sánchez-Hernández, expressed the company's dedication to providing high-quality testing solutions that meet customer needs. EMITE is eager to enhance their testing chambers with the R&S CMX500, allowing customers to test devices using the IEEE 802.11be standard and Red Cap devices. This partnership highlights EMITE's commitment to staying ahead of the evolving demands in the telecommunications industry.
Christoph Pointner, who holds the position of Senior Vice President of Mobile Radio Testers at Rohde & Schwarz, expressed excitement about the enhanced partnership with EMITE. By integrating the R&S CMX500 signaling tester into EMITE's OTA chambers, customers can have confidence in the reliability and efficiency of their devices for cutting-edge technologies. This collaboration ensures that products have undergone thorough testing to meet the highest standards.
