Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers, and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Unigroup Spreadtrum & RDA at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Anritsu Corporation announces the coming launch plan of its Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A platform for developing chipsets and terminals for 5th generation (5G) communications systems.

Tektronix, an industry-leading innovator of video test, monitoring and diagnostics solutions, has announced interoperability with its video quality assurance solutions and Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elemental MediaLive, AWS Elemental MediaConvert, and AWS Elemental MediaPackage. The combination gives video providers, including pay TV operators, broadcasters and OTT providers, a scalable and cost-effective means to convert and package video content into various formats, while ensuring quality across the video workflow from acquisition to delivery.

National Instruments, the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, announced plans to collaborate with Shanghai University on a testbed focused on 5G ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) for V2X applications.

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced two families of wide-VIN synchronous DC/DC buck regulators with industry-leading electromagnetic interference (EMI) and thermal performance.

The new R&S ATS1000 antenna test chamber from Rohde & Schwarz allows developers and production engineers to perform over-the-air (OTA) measurements for 5G on their antenna modules, transceivers, chipsets and wireless devices. Antenna and transceiver measurements are possible in the frequency range from 18 GHz to 87 GHz. The system therefore supports all millimeter-wave frequency bands currently considered for 5G. The compact test chamber makes it possible to measure mobile devices in the far field.

Tektronix, a leading worldwide provider of measurement solutions, introduced EMCVu, a new all-in-one solution for EMI/EMC pre-compliance testing and troubleshooting. In today's electronic design environment, about 50 percent of products fail electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing the first time. EMCVu gives engineers an accurate, convenient and cost-effective approach to determine if their product designs will pass EMC emission compliance testing on the first try.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers, and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced that the Keysight E6951A public safety answering point (PSAP) emulator has been certified by NavCert GmbH.
