Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), advanced 5G, Massive Machine-to-Machine Communications (mMTC), and Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) use cases are expected to be delivered inside buildings. Mobile operators need in-building wireless testing solutions that quickly, consistently, and accurately quantify Quality of Experience (QoE) across multiple 5G networks. Nemo Backpack Pro enables users to measure KPIs inside buildings on multiple-carrier 5G networks simultaneously using up to eighteen measurement devices.

“5G deployments in indoor environments require testing solutions that efficiently calculate end-user QoE in any 3GPP-specified frequency band and benchmark networks and devices while optimizing the functionality of the new technology,” said Petri Toljamo, vice president and general manager for Nemo wireless solutions at Keysight. “Nemo Backpack Pro makes it easy for mobile operators and systems integrators to efficiently capture data on-site. Keysight’s Nemo Outdoor software allows users to analyze the results in real time.”

  • An innovative structural design that does not add propagation losses to measurements, improving the accuracy of captured data, enabling users to compare KPIs such as data rates, download speeds, voice quality, streaming services and over-the-top (OTT) applications between different devices and networks.
  • The industry's lightest backpack for indoor network measurements that supports more measuring devices (18) than other comparable backpack solutions.
  • An expandable ergonomic design that allows the user to capture relevant measurements for a complete range of testing requirements without having to traverse the route only once.

Mobile operators need testing solutions that verify end-user QoE in indoor environments, where most voice and data traffic is generated. Keysight's portfolio supports accelerated 5G service deployments in a complex environment characterized by radio propagation, open network access architectures, and a proliferation of device models.

Nemo Backpack Pro is part of Keysight's portfolio of Nemo wireless networking solutions, which uses common software such as Nemo Outdoor, Nemo Handy , and Nemo Analyze, as well as common interfaces such as the Nemo diagnostic module and the Nemo smart interface for devices that addresses a wide range of testing requirements needed to analyze the performance of 5G networks or devices in the field.
