UMass Lowell professor teams up with entrepreneur to produce open-source software for distributing COVID-19 test kits and collecting test data.
5G
Network test suite puts the load on Open RAN CU
VIAVI’s TeraVM O-RAN test suite now supports Centralized Unit load testing.
Open RAN Policy Coalition pushes network equipment interoperability
Open radio access networks are moving ahead and will likely become the preferred connection between 5G radios and core networks.
5G changes network timing architectures
As radio-access networks change from a single unit into a distributed system, which will also impact how networks keep time. Precision Time Protocol will distribute timing information, keeping the units synchronized in time and phase.
Add Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to your IoT device
iEW400 IP from Imagination Technologies lets you add the latest Wi-Fi connectivity to an FPGA, SoC, or ASIC, with focus on minimizing power consumption and increasing battery life.
BBox: Beam steering for mmWave testing
The BBox from TMYTEK lets you control a signal’s amplitude and phase under software control. Use it to test antennas, phones, small cells, and measure material properties when subjected to mmWave signals. Testing beamforming antennas, user equipment, small cells, and other items requires that you have a way to create a steered signal. Taiwan-based TMY…
LoRaWAN test tool gets you closer to compliance
Use the free test tool to check your radio and protocols before bringing your low-power IoT device to a lab for certification.
OFDMA improves spectrum use in Wi-Fi 6
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access increases the efficiency of a crowded Wi-Fi channel. The access point is in control, managing who gets bandwidth and when.
Verifying 5G with OTA testing
The 5G realm puts a new emphasis on making measurements without hardwired connections. Adnan Khan | Anritsu Co. 5G systems are being rolled out globally, bringing with them throughput speeds of up to 10 Gbps, higher frequencies that extend into the millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum, and devices operating in multiple radio access technologies (RATs). Engineers […]
5G Over-the-Air Testing: An update
MIMO differs from LTE to 5G, plus 5G adds mmWave frequencies and beam steering. Both force changes in emulating channels.
