Smartphone manufacturer vivo has expanded the use of Keysight's 5G device test solutions to accelerate verification of designs that support 5G new radio (NR) 3GPP Release 16 (Rel-16) features.
Keysight Technologies, which delivers design and validation solutions, collaborates with leading chipset makers to make early 3GPP Rel-16 design, test and conformance validation capabilities available via the company's 5G network emulation solutions. Top-five smartphone vendor vivo relies on these capabilities to verify that new 5G designs comply to the latest specifications defined by 3GPP, the global standards organisation.
"Keysight is pleased to support vivo with 5G device test capabilities on common hardware and software platforms, enabling the leading smartphone brand to flexibly verify functionality and performance of its diverse product lineup," said Cao Peng, VP and GM, Keysight's Wireless Test group.
"By leveraging insights gained through close industry collaborations and contributions to the 5G NR 3GPP standards, we're able to provide early support for advanced Rel-16 features, speeding the delivery of enhancements for industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications, enterprises and automotive use cases."
Keysight's Protocol R&D Toolset, based on the company's UXM 5G Wireless Test Platform, offers vivo an test environment to verify 5G NR and Long Term Evolution (LTE) signalling protocols.
Said Mingliang Xu, GM, Hardware and Performance Testing at vivo: "Keysight's 5G platforms, with access to early 5G Rel-16 test capabilities, enable us to quickly develop designs that support optimised power consumption, increased data speeds, as well as improved mobility and connection reliability.
Keysight's 5G platforms provide users with end-to-end repeatable performance test capabilities in a laboratory environment. In early 2021, vivo selected Keysight's PROPSIM channel emulation solutions to perform multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) over-the-air (OTA) testing under a diverse range of real-world mobility scenarios, including rural, city and indoors.
3GPP completed 5G NR Rel-16 in July 2021 to improve efficiencies in transportation, logistics and manufacturing, in addition to providing improved cell coverage and connection speeds for consumers.
