A key aspect of the debate within the mobile communications sector, and especially in the test and measurement segment, will be the use of new technologies that enable next-generation 5G networks, whether through new millimeter-wave bands or an evolution of existing standards. While the debate largely focuses on the implementation of a new air interface, the 5G network will influence the entire end-to-end network, as well as service areas.
Air Interface
will explain its test and measurement solutions for developing the new 5G air interface with practical examples such as LTE-A Pro up to 1GB/s, new experimental waveforms, millimeter wave measurement, OTA, and massive MIMO testing. The company will also unveil the development of new testing methods for emerging 5G device technology, utilizing the most advanced "modulated S-parameter" technology.
Network Access and Capacity
: Within network access, the greatest capacity is directed towards C-RAN, the deployment of HetNet with CPRI and DAS, and the evolution towards DWDM optical networks. Anritsu will showcase exclusive solutions for field testing and for the comprehensive deployment of C-RAN. These solutions include RF and CPRI testers, optical transport network testing to support the deployment of this new technology, as well as the implementation, configuration, and maintenance of SDN and NFV transport networks.
As LTE-A evolves to Version 13 and beyond, up to LTE-A Pro, the testing requirements for ultra-high-speed broadband and enhanced machine-type communications (eMTC) continue to evolve. Anritsu will demonstrate the latest UE technology in operation on its reference device test platform solution, as well as some exclusive applications and connectivity testing methods.
Service Guarantee
will also conduct demonstrations of its most advanced tools for NFV/SDN, Big Data, Customer Experience Analytics and Real-Time Customer Experience Management, which are expected to become fundamental operator management tools for advanced network coordination and support the 5G network partitioning concept.
Anritsu continues its commitment to producing innovative solutions for the development of next-generation mobile communication standards, not only for the air interface but also for the entire network and the services it provides. Visit Anritsu in Hall 6, Booth 6F40
