Introduction
5G New Radio (NR) introduces wider bandwidths, millimeter-wave
(mmWave) frequencies, massive multiple input / multiple output
(mMIMO), beamforming, and other innovations that radically change
the design, test, and optimization of base stations. Network equipment
manufacturers (NEMs) need reliable and cost-effective base station test
solutions that span the workflow — from the R&D lab to field test through
volume manufacturing.

Through early partnerships with key players across the 5G landscape,


Keysight has developed the technology and expertise to help test
engineers overcome new challenges. Keysight’s innovative 5G NR base
station test solutions use common software and precise measurement
science, providing maximum reliability and cost effectiveness.

RAN VALIDATION SOLUTIONS

UeSIM OPEN RAN STUDIO


Open RAN Studio includes O-RAN-focused tools to construct, play,
UeSIM validates 5G radio access network (RAN) functionality and
capture, and measure O-RAN traffic over 10 Gbps to 25 Gbps (fronthaul)
performance in the lab and the field. The solution provides these
Ethernet interfaces. The software provides beamforming support and
capabilities:
enables analysis of frequency range 1 (FR1) and FR2 radio downlink and
• full protocol stack assessment from Layer 1 to Layer 7 uplink paths.  

• functional testing — layer by layer — for potentially thousands of UEs

• load testing of 5G RAN — SA and NSA modes
