Rohde & Schwarz EMC and Regulatory Testing Solutions
Rohde & Schwarz offers EMC and regulatory testing solutions for 5G, NTN/LEO, and connectivity, ensuring compliance with standards such as ETSI EN 301 908-25. Their solutions are designed to adapt to the diverse wireless devices emerging in the 5G era.
Understanding the ETSI EN 301 908-25 Standard:
The ETSI EN 301 908-25 standard is a harmonized standard developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) for 5G new radio (NR) user equipment (UE). It specifies the technical requirements for radio transmission and reception of 5G NR devices, in accordance with the 3GPP Release 15 and Release 16 specifications. Compliance with this standard is necessary for devices to be marketed and operated in the European Union under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED).
Conclusion
Although consumer devices do not directly support conformity testing to the ETSI EN 301 908-25 standard, specialized testing equipment from manufacturers such as TÜV Rheinland and Rohde & Schwarz is used to ensure that 5G wireless devices meet the regulatory and performance standards required for the European market.
