Keysight Technologies, Ixia Solutions Group Announce Integrated Cellular + WiFi Protocol Verification Solution—Simultaneous Testing Significantly Reduces Time-to-Market

New test platform illustrates the impact Keysight’s acquisition of Ixia is having in the wireless industry

Highlights:

  • Keysight combines Ixia’s portfolio to enable innovative test solutions providing deeper insights into cellular and WiFi coexistence challenges
  • The new Cellular + WiFi Emulation System provides simultaneous cellular and WiFi cellular signaling tests—including full protocol stack, from layer 1 to layer 7, for multi-mode devices

SANTA ROSA, Calif., Aug. 1, 2017 – Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today announced a solution that supports simultaneous cellular and WiFi testing. The T5510S Cellular + WiFi Emulation System is a powerful, flexible platform enabled by the combination of Keysight’s UXM network emulator and the Ixia Solutions Group’s Wave Test System. The result is an industry first—a test platform covering a complete cellular and WiFi system, from data traffic generation to physical transmission, layers 1 to 7.

“User experience testing in mobile devices requires evaluation of application performance under real world conditions,” said Satish Dhanasekaran, president, Communications Solutions Group, Keysight Technologies. “This solution combines the technologies of Keysight and Ixia to provide deeper understanding of coexistence challenges as devices interoperate across LTE and Wireless LAN systems.”

“Customers can view the performance of the complete protocol stack with the end-to-end performance verification needed for emerging and demanding applications such as IoT, connected car and 5G,” said Bethany Mayer, president, Ixia Solutions Group.

“With the T5510S system, Keysight now offers industry-leading test capabilities to address interoperability challenges for multi-mode devices.”

The T5510S Cellular + WiFi Emulation System also includes Keysight’s flexible Test Automation Platform and ready-to-use, built-in test cases. This complete system delivers unmatched capabilities for testing with the latest cellular standards (LTE/LTE-Advanced/NB-IoT/Cat-M) as well as all WiFi protocols (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) under a wide range of traffic and RF emulation conditions.

By combining the best-in-class capabilities from Keysight and Ixia, the T5510S Cellular + WiFi Emulation System helps customers improve performance and time-to-market by prototyping, evaluating and diagnosing complex interoperability environments.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
