Rohde & Schwarz announced to offer the first validated IMS conformance test cases for 5G NR that can be used for certification testing according to PTCRB. This achievement paves the way for 5G IMS conformance testing. Back in 2008, Rohde & Schwarz accomplished the industry’s first validations of IMS test cases. Since then, the company has maintained its leading position in LTE conformance and operator acceptance testing, as well as in 5G IMS testing for operators.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. has launched new 800G test solutions for validating electrical and optical interfaces to speed development of next generation data center technologies, including the first 100Gb/s transmitter and receiver pre-conformance test solution.

In a strategically important announcement that could see the widespread international adoption of 5G Broadcast / Multicast, Rohde & Schwarz has announced two 5G Broadcast-enabled transmitters - the field-proven R&S®Tx9 & Tx9evo transmitter series. In addition, for existing Rohde & Schwarz transmitter users, the migration to 5G Broadcast/Multicast can be achieved through a software upgrade and minor hardware upgrade.

Tektronix, Inc. announced the availability of TekDrive™, the first native oscilloscope-to-cloud software solution to facilitate global data collaboration directly on an oscilloscope, PC, phone or tablet. Created to enable ultimate ease and accuracy in data accessibility and collaboration, TekDrive provides engineers the ability to instantaneously share and recall data directly on an oscilloscope, eliminating the need for cumbersome data-sharing practices.

Anritsu Company announces Panduit Corp. recommends the Anritsu Network Master™ Pro MT1000A to conduct the analysis necessary to certify Panduit OneMode-Link passive media converters have been installed into high-speed networks properly. The certification test with the MT1000A ensures the installation meets Panduit’s warranty requirements. The lightweight, compact, battery-powered, and easy-to-use MT1000A simplifies OneMode-Link installation certification measurements with an easy-to-use Panduit OneMode-button operation that allows installers of any skill level to operate the optical transport tester to its full potential.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. introduced a new performance test solution that enables mobile operators to automatically benchmark and evaluate performance of 5G new radio (NR) devices and base stations in a laboratory environment.

Test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz extends its support to the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) with an extension to their compliance test services.

Texas Instruments (TI) expanded its high-voltage power management portfolio with the next generation of 650-V and 600-V gallium nitride (GaN) field-effect transistors (FETs) for automotive and industrial applications. With a fast-switching, 2.2-MHz integrated gate driver, the new families of GaN FETs help engineers deliver twice the power density, achieve 99% efficiency and reduce the size of power magnetics by 59% compared to existing solutions.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced that Finnish service provider Elisa has selected Keysight's Cloud Peak cloud infrastructure testing software to accelerate the design and deployment of their next-generation 5G virtualized networks.

Tektronix, Inc. recently launched a new feature to its TekScope PC Software, making it the newest and most sophisticated waveform analysis PC software in the test and measurement market. TekScope PC Software with enhanced Multi-Scope Analysis allows remote users to view and analyze data from up to 32 channels from multiple scopes at the same time in the same interface, accelerating analysis efficiency.
