The certification was activated at the 60th CAG meeting in Fort Worth, Texas, on October 23. Keysight currently offers the largest number of GCF-validated 5G NR conformance test cases and bands for protocol and RF on a common platform, enabling a connected ecosystem to verify the performance of mobile devices in both 5G NR NSA and SA modes.
“Keysight is committed to supporting device and chip manufacturers, as well as testing labs, to accelerate validation across a wide range of scenarios that enhance the end-user experience for those using 5G devices to access new services,” said Kailash Narayanan, Vice President and General Manager of Keysight’s Wireless Testing Group. “Our continued leadership in GCF-validated test cases enables manufacturers to quickly and cost-effectively address global testing requirements for multimode 5G devices across various form factors.”.
Keysight is currently the only provider of GCF-validated 5G conformance test cases for radio frequency (RF) demodulation. In July 2019, Keysight achieved the industry's first GCF validation for 5G RF demodulation and RRM test cases in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies.
Keysight's 5G compliance toolsets, part of Keysight's 5G network emulation solution suite, leverage the UXM 5G Wireless Test Platform to address the device development workflow from initial design through acceptance and manufacturing. Mobile operators, chip and device manufacturers, and testing labs use these toolsets to access a leading number of test cases validated by both the Global Certification Forum (GCF) and the PTCRB .
