Rohde & Schwarz, iBwave and Anokiwave partner to showcase indoor 5G NR network

Munich, December 19, 2018 — While 5G NR pre-commercial trials are currently ongoing in several countries mostly in outdoor environments, indoor trials, especially in mmWave frequency range, are still rare.

The 5G NR network at 5G Expert Days was planned by iBwave, a leader in in-building network planning. In the setup a R&S SMW200A signal generator transmitted 5G NR signals via the 24/26 GHz Active Antenna Innovator Kit, supplied by Anokiwave to control various beams. The performance of the network was measured using the first commercially available 5G NR network measurement solution including an autonomous 5G NR network … Read More → "Rohde & Schwarz, iBwave and Anokiwave partner to showcase indoor 5G NR network"
