The demonstration showcased connected workflows, all-day battery life, and Windows 10 compatibility using Qualcomm's latest platform, the Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 8cx system-on-a-chip (SoC) the X55 5G modemas well as Keysight's 5G network emulation solutions. The demonstration showcased high-speed, low-latency connectivity, all made possible by 5G new radio (NR), which delivered transformative PC user experiences for both consumers and businesses, with live download speeds of up to 7 Gbps.
“We are pleased to once again support Qualcomm and its connected ecosystem of wireless device manufacturers in delivering 5G applications to consumers and vertical industries,” said Lucas Hansen, senior director of Keysight’s mobile device testing group. “Keysight’s 5G solutions are rapidly becoming the industry standard across the entire mobile ecosystem, enabling device and mobile manufacturers to validate multimode designs and offer these compelling new products to consumers.”. 

Keysight’s 5G network emulation solutions, based on the Keysight 5G UXM Wireless Test Platform, enable device manufacturers to validate 5G NR multimode designs across protocols, radio frequency, and radio resource management (RRM) in both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) modes. These end-to-end 5G solutions provide the flexibility needed to rapidly validate multimode designs in virtually any form factor, accelerating their ability to meet global requirements in the sub-6 GHz (FR1) and mmWave (FR2) spectrum.
Earlier this year, the two companies announced that they had established the mobile industry’s first 5G NR data call in Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) mode and also demonstrated an industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) application at CES 2019.
